Sex-selective abortion (also referred to as son preference or female deselection) are methods of sex-selection which are practised in areas where males are respected over females. Sex-selective abortion refers to the concentrated abortion of female foetuses; the foetus' sex may be determined by ultrasound but also rarely by amniocentesis or another procedure.
Introduction- Contemporary Indian society acknowledges a intellectual confidence in every individual's 'right to life and dignity´. The rights relating to the weaker & vulnerable sections of Indian society especially women, and more specially the girl child were contaminated. The twin social evils of female foeticide & female infanticide were the main causes . Violence against women exists in various forms, in all societies, the world over. In 1996 the world health assembly recommended the fact that violence against women is a Public Health problem and female foeticide is one preposterous demonstration of violence against women. India is a country of 102.7 crore population,out of which 53.1 crores is of males and 49.6 crores is of females, clearly indicating a deficit of 3.5 crore women. The sex ratio is 933 women /1000 men and child sex ratio is 927girls for 1000 boys (census of India,2001). The demographic profile of India clearly indicating the profoundness and widespread prevalence of this social evil i.e. female foeticide. In Jaipur itself 3500 female foeticide per year on average seen and where killing is no sin.

Effects of Foeticide
Female foeticide:A social crime is very serious in today's generation. If this practice continues, one day will come when there is no girl in this world.
More and more Indian families with one girl are aborting consecutive pregnancies when protective tests show another female is on the way, according to a new consideration.
According to the statistics of India 2011, Child sex ratio drops to lowest since Independence. Indicating a continuing preference for boys in society, the child sex ratio in India has dropped to 914 females against 1,000 males - the bottom since aptitude - in the provisory 2011 Census report acquite on March 31, 2011.
On April 20, 2011 a broadly respected and one of the oldest Islamic seminars in Lucknow has said that female foeticide was nothing less than a murder and was not permitted in Islam.In a "fatwa" , the Lucknow-based "Darul Uloom Firangimahal" has said that it is "un-islamic" to abort the foetus after determining its sex. "Islam does not permit abortion," said Maulana Khalid Rashid Firangimahali, chief of the institution and a senior member of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, an apex organisation of the Muslim community in the country.
The "fatwa" was issued on Tuesday in response to a query by one Dr Huma Khwaja, who wanted to know what the shariat (Islamic law) stand is on termination of pregnancy after determining the sex of the foetus.
