Everybody blames the mothers/fathers/mothers-in-law for female infanticide. I don't blame them because they are not serial killers, their hearts aren't made of stones. They are perfectly normal, everyday people. It is the pain of the future and the fear that they will not be able to give the best of life to their daughter makes them commit this suicide on behalf of their daughters. Are they to be blamed, yes, but only partially. The greater part of the blame goes to the root of this problem, which nobody takes seriously - dowry. If they know that there is no extra burden in raising a girl child than a boy child, a parent/grandparent would never ever take this extreme step..
My humble request to all girls: Please don't marry a beggar in disguise!
