In India most of the families prefer son.Many couple after coming to know that their first child is female,they go to an extent of abortion.In Hinduism son alone can perform the last rites of their parents after death.In some of the states like Haryana and Rajasthan on account blind love for son,they are not getting brides for their sons

I have heard that there is a gender-imbalance in certain parts of Asia and that this is becoming more and more of a problem. Well, personally I think it is very sad.

As a matter of it causing hovoc particularly in India,where eligible boys are not getting brides.In fact in some cases groom's parents go in search of brides.As you in India arranged marriage is more sought after rather than love marriages
