Jhajjar, India (CNN) -- One-month-old baby girl Khushi, which means "happiness" in Hindi, would not have been alive had her mother, Sumanjeet, given in to pressure from some relatives and neighbors.Hat tip: Hot Air Headlines
"They would cry and yell, 'What are you doing giving birth to a girl? Push her off the roof of the building, kill her! Why are you keeping her?'" the 25-year-old mother says.
Sumanjeet says people kept telling her to get an ultrasound check and abort all four of her daughters. They told her she wouldn't have enough money for a suitable dowry. Although Sumanjeet wasn't quite sure how she was going to raise them, she knew it was a crime to get rid of them.
"Why are they killing girls, while they're still in the womb? It's a sin for which they'll have to be answerable to God. Small, cute girls like a doll. They kill her in the womb? It's a sin," Sumanjeet weeps.

Thank God that mother knows that it's wrong. It's hard to understand why people would hate the very gender that gave them life. That neighbors and relatives would say these things to her shows how dark and how low the human heart can get.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was to push her neighbors and relatives off the building, see how they like what they want done to a baby. But that wouldn't really solve anything. The only solution is to kick Satan out of Indian culture. It's satanic integration into Indian culture that makes them hate females so much.
I am edified by this mother. To heal this society, though, we have to be convinced that Christian marriage is the answer. It's so sad to see people given up to their dark tendencies as a matter of course.
ReplyDeleteSince my husband works in IT, he has known quite a few people over the years who are originally from India. One of his co-workers told us about her sister. When the woman became pregnant, the mother-in-law insisted the sister abort the child so the husband could keep taking care of his mother instead. I don't think it was even a question of gender, but rather the mother-in-law just not wanting anyone else taking what she saw as hers. I believe there is a culture of death in India, just like we are seeing grow stronger here.
ReplyDeleteYes, there is definitely a culture of death in India. Their cultural hatred of the life giving gender is a strong indication if that.
