Daughters are still considered a burden in our society, this incident of Latur confirms this fact. Daughters have become a burden for the society, that’s why they are killed in the womb and if they come into the world, they are killed at the hands of the family members. Apart from Maharashtra, this has been seen in many places of the country.
In October 2020, a 30-year-old woman, upset after giving birth to a second daughter, thrashed her four-year-old elder daughter to death in Ludhiana, Punjab. Police said that the woman was the wife of a migrant laborer from Bihar. The woman allegedly killed her four-year-old daughter by slamming her on the wall and floor in the bathroom of the house located in Navneet Nagar of Salem Tabri area of Ludhiana. Such cases keep coming from every corner of the country.
