Abstract :

There is no denying the fact that women are the deprived section of the society. Despite the fact that so much has been done to upgrade their condition; many legal reforms have come into existence; so that women may find a better place in society; their level can be uplifted, still their condition is still miserable. They are not at par with men in each and every field. The crimes against women are still on the rise and that day is not far away when women would find their existence on this planet entirely in jeopardy. The scenario is very bleak; there are no prospects of a ight future for them; their life is in troubled water and if they are not fended off from external and internal assaults, their life would be no better than a creature who struggles for his existence. Women are the victims of patriarchy; a system of society where only males take precedence over everything. Among various problems that she faces there is one menace of female foeticide which is the most heinous one. Female foeticide means killing the baby girl before her birth; it is like cutting a plant before it can flourish and attain full growth.
