A woman in labor - at one of the most vulnerable moments of her life. Instead of comfort, she was mocked and threatened. She was told her face would be punched, her teeth broken, and that she would be choked if she screamed in pain. When her husband tried to comfort her by holding her hand, his mother ordered him to let go and he did, leaving her to endure the pain alone. Then, when the doctor recommended surgery, her wishes were denied. This isn't love. This isn't family. This is abuse and control.

To stop female foeticide, even the Prime Minister has to plead with people by saying, "If daughters aren't born, where will you get daughters-in-law?" Think about that for a second. The appeal isn't centered on the fact that girls deserve to live, it's framed around the fear that men won't have enough brides. In this society, a girl's existence is still measured by what she can provide to men. Doesn't this make you feel that, in such a pathetic society, maybe it's better if girls aren't even born? I believe sex determination should be legal in this country.

FORTY-TWO DAYS. SHE WAS JUST 28 YEARS OLD That's all the time Shreya Singh got as a bride before her life ended. According to her family, those 42 DAYS were filled with relentless DOWRY DEMANDS, humiliation, fear, and coercion. They allege that when she wasn't comfortable with INTIMACY so soon after an ARRANGED MARRIAGE, she was shouted at .The relentless pressure pushed her toward a point from which she saw no escape. She did EVERYTHING society tells a "good girl" to do. She agreed to an ARRANGED MARRIAGE. She trusted her parents' choice. She left the safety of her home believing she was beginning a new life. Instead, she found herself trapped in a marriage overshadowed by alleged DOWRY DEMANDS, humiliation, and emotional suffering. A 28-year-old woman who had her entire life ahead of her is gone forever. Her parents don't get another daughter. She doesn't get another tomorrow. It has now been TWO YEARS. The High Court has quashed the proceedings against her in-laws, finding no specific allegations against them. The trial against her husband continues, and he remains on ANTICIPATORY BAIL while the case proceeds
