Abstract

Regarding sex selective abortion in India, all are aware of exclusive female disadvantage. And yet few study reported sizeable selective male feticide as such. This exercise reveals that: (1) the age-old son-preference has slightly declined on the end of the twentieth century, and (2) a substantial selective male feticide are also being committed annually, of course, along with larger selective female feticide.
