स्त्री भ्रुण हत्या : Female Foetus killing

Just reached home from office. Mom informed me that one of my long distance relative become a proud father of a baby boy.

Mom: XYZ's wife delivered a baby boy today.
Abhi : Oh Thats a good news! I guess he already had 2 girls.
Mom: He have 3 girls.
Abhi : Oh!! so he finaly got his "Khandan ka chiraag".
Mom : Yeh, Only after aborting twice.
Abhi: What???? Aborting
Mom: He did test and found that they were girls.
Abhi: Have you called him or congratulated him?
Mom: congratulate him for what? killing two lives?
Abhi: Hmmm.....

This Mr. XYZ is a social worker in his area. And i used to admire him for his kindness to poor people.

I am in complete shock.
