For 79.56 Lakh Unmarried Men There Are Just 29.26 Lakh Unmarried Women

In a country which doesn't shy away from talking about women's empowerment, where deities like Maa Lakshmi, Maa Durga and Maa Saraswati are worshiped with pure devotion, where sisters tie a knot to their brothers for their protection on the day of Raksha Bandhan, in the same country, female foeticide is being practiced rampantly.

A girl today is a mother tomorrow, and killing an unborn is perhaps the cruellest act imaginable. People who practice such beastial acts forget that their own mother who gave them birth is a woman.

This mindless cruelty has resulted in over 59 lakh marriageable men ending up without brides on the eve of Akshay Tritiya, an auspicious day for marriage as per the Hindu calendar

This conclusion has been derived from census data on marital status of Indian population released recently. For 79.56 lakh unmarried men in their 20s, there are just 29.26 lakh unmarried women living. Similarly, there are 9.13 lakh men in their 30s but only 1.95 lakh girls in that age group while 3.03 lakh men in their 40s have 59,399 women to choose from.

"This had to happen as girls were killed mercilessly inside the womb in the past decades," said Dr Neelam Singh, member, national inspection and monitoring committee on PCPNDT (pre-conception, pre-natal diagnostic techniques) Act. "That was the time sex determination strengthened its roots in India and created ripples in western parts of UP. The scenario will worsen by 2021," she said.

The sex ratio for UP over the decades explains the gap. In the 1901 census, UP sex ratio was 938 which was 16 points less than the natural sex ratio of 954. It continued to drop until 1961, however, the 70s saw the worst sex ratio of 876 (78 units below natural ratio). It raised up marginally in the 80s but slipped again in the 90s. At 908, UP sex ratio is way behind the national average of 940. "Had it not been for the PC PNDT act in the 1990s, many more girls would have died," said Rohit Kant, a lawyer.

Matchmaker G S Kapoor said he often comes across unmarried men in their 40s. "Some of them have compromised on caste and community over the years but to no avail. Subtle rise in the number of anti-dowry families is more due to the 'unavailability of brides' than any consciousness," he said.

The disturbed male and female ratio is the root cause of the many problems girls face in their daily lives. Not only this, crimes against women, especially rape and acid attacks are closely linked to this low female ratio, says Madhu Garg who is also a social activist.

We appeal for the prevention of the misuse of prenatal diagnostic techniques for sex-selective abortion.
