Recently, the report of the National Family Health Survey shows that there has been an increase in the number of women and men in the country who wish to have daughters. In 2005-06, where only 70 per cent of men and women wanted daughters, at present, almost 79 per cent of people want their daughter to have a daughter. There is also an interesting fact that in the last decade, there has been only five per cent increase in women seeking daughters. At the same time, the number of such men is now 13 percent higher. But overall, the number of women seeking daughter in most of the classes is still higher than men. This survey has been done between 49 years of age and men 54 years of age.
This survey also revealed that. That's the daughter's desire for more in rural areas. Compared to 75 percent of urban women and men, about 80 percent of rural women and men want daughters. Along with this, another surprising thing is that unlike literate, illiterate women and men appear to be less discriminating between sons and daughters. If you talk about statistics, only 73 percent of the literate women and men want daughter, while the number of illiterates who want this is 84 percent.
In spite of the increasing violence against girls in society, the people consider the many reasons behind the growing desire of daughters. One day daughters have started earning as well as reading and writing. Second, due to emotionally connected to the family, they maintain more contact with their parents even after marriage. Third, mothers often share daughters' hearts with their daughters, but not from the sons. Even after marriage, they share their heart with daughters only. For this reason, women also consider at least one daughter as necessary to lighten their heart.
Two major reasons behind the daughters' desire for more girls in villages than in cities are believed - in one village, women perform more physical labor than men, in which only daughters share their hands. Having more daughters is a great way of relief from the burden of endless work for the mother. Secondly, rural environment is still safer for the girls, because of this, the issue of their safety has not been as serious yet as it is for the parents of the city.
Although the number of women and men who want more than the daughters in the family is still 19 per cent, whereas the number of women and men who want more daughters than sons is just 3.5 per cent. In the trend of a growing child in society, people still give preference to sons rather than daughter. But despite all this, the growing desire for daughters is a positive sign for the time to come.
This survey clearly shows that the percentage of women in every section of the urban, rural, illiterate or literate, is more than the daughters who want the daughter. These figures break the notion that often it is heard that women are the enemies of women, so they give abortion of female fetuses. In fact, due to the horrific pressure of the in-laws and the daughter being born, due to fear of torture with her, often mothers are ready for abortion of female fetuses. Exceptions can occur.
