It is sad that even up to date, giving birth to girls at certain parts of the world is still considered a waste—as girls are deem not to be of much benefit.
Apart from the below story, I listened to a programme which recently aired on BBC and it was unbelievable to learn that girls were being totally disregarded by their fathers and in some instances sold out for some few coins in India.
However, boys were cherished and given the necessary education and love from both parents.
According to MailOnline;
A young Indian mother has been burned to death along with her infant daughter by her husband and in-laws for failing to pay dowry.
Police in eastern Indian state of Jharkhand said 22-year-old Annu Devi was set ablaze while she was breastfeeding her daughter.
They have now arrested her husband, Gunjan Masat, who allegedly poured fuel over Devi and her baby daughter before setting them on fire.
According to Raghuni Rana, Devi’s father, the couple were happily married for more than a year, but problems started after Ms Devi gave birth to a baby girl.
