India may be aborting it's future away, but they are definitely not among the worst. Just look at the rate in the US. Think about how many illegals we would not "need" if we just allowed our own children to be born and to grow up to contributing members of society...
This male/female ratio thing is very bad news. When young men can’t find available yonug women, bad things happen.
Thanks now it makes sense
I know they have to be in the mix somewhere, probably somewhere near the top
The graph posted above? The first even arguably Christian country is number five.
Ireland’s not on there, is it?
Kill for the love of Kali. Kill! Kill! Kill!
Don’t worry. I’m sure that Amnesty International is all over this.
“..primarily Christian populations have higher abortion rates.”
Don’t count European countries having primarily Christian populations. That distinction vaporized half a century ago.
He was too cheap to pay their dowries. sarc/
The free market will correct things in less than a generation. Part of it also comes from Indian inheritance laws, where sons and daughters do not get an equal share, which leads to families giving daughters their inheritance in advance in the form of a dowry.
The government of Maharashtra State in India has recently passed a law designed to promote gender equity in property inheritance and discourage the practice of dowry-giving. The law provides for the right of a daughter to inherit parents' wealth on an equal basis with sons. Until this law was implemented in Maharashtra, daughters did not have the legal right to claim an equal share of an inheritance because of a loophole in national law. In most cases they had to be content with a dowry.Dowry is officially supposed to represent a daughter's share of her family's wealth, in the form of a pre-mortem inheritance from her parents at the time of her marriage. Dowry is also given by the parents of a daughter to compensate the groom's family for supporting her after her marriage, since she is often prohibited by social customs from earning a cash income that would contribute economically to the family into which she is married. Women may also become an economic burden in the event of widowhood, which is likely since brides are typically much younger than grooms.
However, dowry has deteriorated into a method of extortion of wealth from bride's to groom's parents, leaving many parents of daughters in debt and encouraging the practice of female feticide - an increasing social evil in the state of Maharashtra, as elsewhere in India. This practice occurs as a result of great social pressure on parents to arrange socially acceptable marriages for their daughters without having the economic means to do so.
Simply passing a law equalising sons' and daughters' claims to land and other immovable property will not solve the problem of dowry-giving. In many regions of rural India there is a strict social taboo on a daughter inheriting land, since if she does so the land is lost by her father's lineage and passes instead to her children, who belong to the lineage of her husband. Furthermore, women in many rural areas are economically reliant on male kin. If the woman is widowed without adult sons or brothers-in-law, and her dowry was small, or was seized by her husband's family, she may be unable to earn a self-supporting income and be forced to sell her land inheritance share to a complete stranger.
Hmmmm...by his rationale shouldn’t he get himself sterilized? He is, after all, the one who determines the sex of a baby. So he’s making girls-not boys. Even the most backward humans can learn that on the internet, or from a doctor.
It’s YOUR problem, sahib!
LOL, talk about massively bad moves.
This makes sense from the grandparents viewpoints, because sons support their families (in exchange for eventual inheritance), while daughters become part of their husbands' families
Ah yes.....
All cultures are equal...
Multiculturalism adds color to the fabric of society...
Diversity is our strength....
There should be no borders or restriction on immigration....
Absolute bull squat!
This is a plan for the civilized world to commit suicide..
The Turd World is so named for a reason...
It does seem like a cultural time bomb waiting to go off. If women become fewer and fewer in the general population, obviously more and more men are required to remain without progeny.
I wonder why no family with marriageable daughters has thought about charging a groom dowry? I wonder how much longer? 10 years? 20 years?
The same thing is brewing in China as well.
All Cultures are Equal Alert (except Western Cultures, which are inferior to all others).

Note how low Poland is. Even note the additional decimal place to the right in there.
