Woman in India forced to have 6 abortions because in-laws did not want female child. WTF!

A pale Amisha Bhatt, 33, stood out in the crowd of rural women from over 15 districts of Gujarat who had gathered at Town Hall to participate in a public hearing of cases of violence against women. The public hearing was organized by Mahila Adhikar Abhiyan.

As women narrated their tales of rape, domestic abuse, Amisha's body shook as she relived the horror of repeated abortions and physical abuse she was subjected to by her in-laws in their obsession for a male heir.

Currently residing with her parents in Vastrapur, Amisha says that she was subjected to six abortions over eight years, the last being early this year. In between, she gave birth to a girl Kamya, who was saved because Amisha went to her parents' house because she took ill. More...

Don't miss:

  2. Disappointed Indian father throws newborn girl into river...
  3. Like China, India is running out of girls...
  4. Genocide: India's missing daughters...
  5. India: no country for young girls...
  6. A son is born, so father in India dumps his daughters!!!
