• Infanticide sometimes referred as infant homicide is the intentional killing of infants.
• In many past societies, certain forms of infanticide were considered permissible. In India, female infanticide is more common than the killing of male offspring, due to sex-selective infanticide.
Women are perceived as subservient because of their role as homemakers, whilst men predominantly ensure the family's social and economic stability.
Some parents particularly poor ones who can't afford to support a large family, will kill female babies.
Girls are considered a drain on family resources during their childhood without bringing economic benefits later on.
Some girl babies are killed so that the family doesn't have to pay a dowry when they get married.
It’s a girlThe three deadliest words in the world
The infant was wrapped in a wet towel or dipped in cold water as soon as it was born or when it came back home from hospital.
If, after a couple of hours, it was still alive it was taken to a doctor who would diagnose pneumonia and prescribe medicine, which the parents promptly threw away.
When the child finally died, the parents had a medical certificate to prove pneumonia.
Sometimes the infant was fed a drop of alcohol to create diarrhea: another certifiable disease.

According to a recent survey women are bought and sold with impunity and trafficked to other countries from different parts of India.
They are forced to work as sex workers undergoing severe exploitation and abuse.

Brides now are trafficked from other states , where the gender ratio is more equitable.
