<p>dowry, female infanticide/feticide, the banning of ultrasounds for sex selection....</p>

<p>the lengths people go to...</p>
<p>there is an article that comes to my mind which you'll find very interesting... i'll look up and post</p>
<p>oh well, couldn't find it. it was basically about how in rajasthan the sex ratios are so adverse that wives are shared by brothers.</p>
<p>sorry for the digression on your thread, z00b. but i guess nothing's a digression on this board.</p>
