Infanticide

All major religions obviously prohibit killing children, but killing girls is a prominent and socially acceptable event for centuries, especially one of the world's most populous countries . Even today, the seriousness of this problem is measured by alertness on a global scale. "At least 60 million women in Asia are missing and worrying about death, but women are just victims of gender, it will exceed 100 million," Indian data is more shocking .

To kill a woman's baby is to deliberately kill her newly born baby. In countries with a history of women with infant murder, contemporary practices of sexual abortion are often discussed as closely related issues. Murdering girls is the greatest concern in several countries, including China, India and Pakistan. Some people think that observing women's "low status" in patriarchal society harm women. In 1978, anthropologist Lila Williamson summarized the data on the prevalence of infant murder in tribes and developed countries or "civilized" countries and discovered infant murder in all continents. And it is carried out by a group of Hunter collectors. For a highly developed society, this is not only an exception but also general.

In the Quran, murder is prohibited. But before Muslim, the baby was killed because of "postpartum care". Murder is as a departure from poverty (and hence men and women), or as a sacrifice to God, or as "a fear of his daughter's birth disappointment and social shame". It is usually due to economic problems. During the famine, families will kill infants. As cultural norms require the son to be the best, the daughter is considered a burden because she can not feed the family as easily as their son. For poor families, the daughter 's daughter' s expenses may be too high. As the Indian proverb says, "To have a daughter is like watering your neighbor's garden"

Demographics One of the most common factors leading to infant control is population management. Poverty, hunger and population control are interrelated factors. In the absence of safe and effective contraceptives, infant pesticides are used to selectively limit the development of the community. Allows selection of the most suitable or ideal descendants for babies, including illness, deformed, female or multiple births. Greek philosophers accept the use of homicide to control the size of the country. From the viewpoint of practicality, killing an infant is not a crime. In the 1976 commentary on 393 people, anthropologists William Divale and Marvin Harris reported that 208 tribes often practice killing infants, especially killing women's babies, to manage the population . Women become targeted as they lower sexual activity and reproductive ability
