Can Your Doctor Tell The Gender Of Your Baby When You Are Pregnant? Not Here In India...He Will Be Punished To Do So!

If women don't give birth to girls there won't be a continuation of generations. There is nothing wrong with revealing to the pregnant woman if she is going to have a boy or a girl. It is her choice to know or not to know. No one else should have a say in this.

Hate to tell you the truth but educated people in India are worse than illiterate ones when it comes to such practices -dowry or foeticide. Illiterate people need to first know that there is such thing called amniocentesis that can tell the gender of unborn child. Educated ones are already well aware of this. So, who has the more chance of going for those tests on the sly? The educated ones! Same with dowry! A doctor and engineer demand dowries in lakhs and crores blatantly just because of their qualification. Ever heard a poor illiterate villager from a rural area asking for crores in dowry? Again who come out as worse here? The educated ones! Remember the Nirbhaya case? Well the "educated" lawyer defended the culprits and shamed the victim for being out late at night with a guy friend. Then shamed the guy friend by saying he wasn't man enough to protect the victim. See? That is how much educated these so called degree holders are! Holding credentials are worth sh*t. They hardly bear proof of their qualification coz admittingly Indian education system produce robots. Not educated or learned individuals. The sick mentality, the rotten patriarchy, the irrational faith in anything remotely religious without credible proof for ex the fake babas, the corrupt politicians, etc.. There is no cure for that yet. Honestly! It is all stupidity. Indians themselves are ruining India. Their priorities are so screwed that it isn't even funny anymore. They have no one else to blame that for.

Wow that all seems so strange to me and sad

no way. as you must know by now from reading here our country is quite different on all those beliefs. except for a few religions that share the virgin part and pretty much every religion here are against abortion for any reason.

India needs to get a grip on their population 'problem' @AKRao24 . Right now they are in 2nd place behind China with a pop of 1.348 BILLION; which is a crock of crap and needs to stop.

I agree with the law. It is a shame that your country has such disregard and disrespect for women. Without them, men wouldn’t exist!

In South Korea doctors used to be prohibited from revealing the gender. Baby boys were considered worthy in their world while baby girls aren't, which also resorted to mothers getting an abortion when they are carrying a female child. But not in our country, there has been no prohibition at all.

It's bad, but now a days Government is providing many schemes to those who have girl child , like depositing some money on girls name etc.. hope this is working..

Here it is perfectly normal to ask to the doctor which gender your baby is. There is no difference between boys and girls. Thanks God girls are not seen as a burden in this country.

I know this happens and it is very sad that it is so. It will take a long time for these traditions to change. When my mother was pregnant some 80 years ago, she didn't know she was having twins and neither did the doctor. It was a surprise to both of them.

@AKRao24 That is very sad. I know after a certain time the ultrasound will tell if boy or girl. In Judaism they prefer boys to care on the name but a girl to me is just as special to have.

It's a pity to here that there is such a big difference between girls and boys. In Spain, the doctor (if it's a private one) makes you an ultrasound once a month. In the fifth one, there is a special one where the doctor is supposed to see the gender. But, he/she always asks the future parents if they want to know the gender. Here, you can decide or choose whether you want to know it or not.

Its offense here.Many villages some nausty doctors make filthy things. They would get money and open the gender. Some compounder too involved in this. I am not saying all doctors ,few rare cases

Oh I did not know this ..this is strange

I live in England. I like to know my baby's gender so I can buy blue for a boy or pink for a girl. I had a gender scan and he was a boy. I later from out at 36 weeks pregnancy he is disabled. I went for a detailed scan to look to see if my next baby was disabled. I asked the gender and he said a girl. Yes, he was right. Both genders are loved in England. All people have feelings and I wish the female was more valued.

If this is case, the parents must not ask the doctor about the gender of their baby. But I also believe that the parents have the right to do so. What saddens me is the way how women are being treated in India. This is really sad.

Yes that's the mentality of people here in India. Things are changing here but still not to an extent . Girls here are still not seen equal to the boys here. And we need to change it soon as it's the main hurdle in our country's development.

That is sad. I can not even imagine living that way. Women should be treated with much more respect. They are the mothers who bring men into the world and raise them. I would not be happy living that way.
