I've searched for this topic in previous posts but cannot locate anything. I apologize in advance if I've missed something already discussed.

 

The problem is that still, to this day newborn boys are expected and celebrated more than girls. I find this quite sad that girls are not as joyfuly celebrated as boys.

However, recently during Lohri celebrations, I noticed that numerous people sent in girls photographs and details to TV and radio to congratulate their births for Lohri- which has always been dominated by birth of boys- this was nice to see that some are trying hard to move forward against the majority.

 

With medical advances, couples can now determine the sex of their baby, which is a great option for those boy thirsty families.

 

Is this wrong? or am I judging wrongly that such concepts of playing God should not be practiced?

How can this issue be socially accepted without doubt?

After all, in this day and age is a son really needed to be a heir for the family??
