Underlying the widespread problem of sex-selective abortions in India is the puzzling fact that daughters have become vulnerable in a time of general improvement in welfare, female status and dramatic economic and social changes. The findings in this book are centred on a contradiction between the continued importance of the cultural factors which for so long have established that a son is necessary, and socio-economic changes that are challenging the foundations for these very factors. This contradiction entails an uncertainty over sons fulfilling expectations which has — instead of titling the balance in favour of daughters — increased the relative importance of sons and intensified negative consequences for daughters. Based on original research, this book studies the use of sex-selective abortions to discriminate against daughters and focuses on the reasons behind it. It takes its starting point in the fact that declining child sex ratios are a result of an ongoing process of societal change in India, and addresses a nation-wide social pattern and problem. Its deliberate focus on the dynamics of the problem and its connection to development and change sets it apart from other studies on gender imbalance and sex ratios in India, and opens up new avenues to examine the problem.
