"Why we don't want a Girl child?"


    Well it's quite evident about the sex ratio and gender imbalance and we ain't unaware about these things. Why there are more males than females? We know the reasons behind this disparity (males and females in a population) especially in India. 
    There is majority of people who don't want and even don't wish to have a girl child. Why this? Why they don't want a girl child? Are the girls source of great worry and stress? In my opinion, probable answer could be YES! Yes, girls are onerous and difficult concern, they are burden of responsibilities. And what are those responsibilities? Since birth of a girl until she get married, there is a huge responsibility and a lot of pressure on parents; proper nourishing and caring should be provided so that she would grown up as an elegant, sophisticated and dignified lady.

["Once I asked my mom that what if I had a sister too? That would have great, isn't it? My mom was like, No! no, one is enough! I was totally astonished. Why my mom said like that? I enquired about this, then she told me that there is nothing wrong in having a girl child. But it require a lot of care, attention, devotion in nurturing of a girl child. And finally finding a right groom for her is a herculean task. I found all these points quite practical."]

    Firstly, One of the greatest responsibilities are searching a perfect groom for your girl and similarly a good family who can take care of your daughter the way you have done. After all girls are sweet hearts of their parents, thus their worry is legitimate.    
    You have to make sure that every step you take should be in accord with society. What society wants from a girl? Actually, there are certain norms and benchmarks a girl must fulfill. If they fail to fulfill any of the criterion, society is well set to point their finger at the girl's character, eventually society will accuse it on girl's parent.
     There is a long list or other way round, some standard scaling techniques are there which a girl has to qualify before getting married. Here it goes; A girl should be slim-trim, gori,sundar, shusheel, furthermore she should be a chef too! And it's literally funny, the way people search for qualities in girls. Ladki toh gaayen jaisi seedhi-saadi honi chahiye. Why girls should be like cows and why they forget that cow has horn too! Irrespective of boy's looks(whatsoever kind of sample he is), the girl must be beautiful! Here, intellect and talent of a girl is overlooked often. 
    Secondly, the most important reason is dowry. It's loathsome that such system is still prevailing in our society. There is tradition in our nasty society, the amount of money with you decides the status of the family(in-laws) you get for your daughter. Thus if you have a girl child, you have to save your money (obviously in surplus amount) for her marriage or you should be enough rich to get your daughter married and fulfill those series of umpteenth demands of groom family. Money is the ruler here too, it's a money game indeed.
    In fact, girl has been perceived as an equivalent synonym of being perfect; i.e., Girl=Perfection. Girl should be flawless, no err. She should be well mannered, sociable and cultured. That's fantastic!! And this is our society, what does it comprise of? We:The people, make this society, we are inseparable. These old customs of orthodox society has put shackles on us; they have made us hamstrung. We have to end this nefarious cycle. 
    Thus, these are the reasons why people don't want a girl child, they escape themselves from all these brutal metal torture.
     Leaving all aside, salute to all those parents who have a girl child/children and capable enough to nourish them. They all are the luckiest one; they are truly blessed. 
    A request to all those who don't want a girl child: Please acknowledge the fact that girls are not a burden, or a matter of serious concern. For having a girl child, you don't have to posses profuse money, girls will be the real treasure of your life. Girls are undeniably a beautiful creation of God. All you need is to make your girl enough efficient that she doesn't have to ask for anything from anyone, make her that much efficient, give her that potential. For this, just educate your daughter, nothing more you have to do.

  1. I feel sorry for the situation of this imbalance, and personally i literally hate the point of social satisfaction which the family has to do, I mean why think about the social benchmark?

    India with full of culture's and way of living, often disgust me when it come's to thinking about doing the things which come's with the tag "what society will think?"

    Apart from the issues of marriage, dowry and stuff, "Why the age of 23 use to be taken as for a girl as point " to get married,

    How about her dream?


    People talk about real care, and things which is needed in grooming up a girl child?
    "What will they reply, When the mother use to train her own daughter in a way that she has to leave at someone else house"

    She must know how to control anger and compromise.

    There are a lot of things which has to solved not accepting that we should have a girl child, but by cleaning the mess of the thinking of society, once that is done. for sure girls child will always be accepted.
