Hey!

Today, you worked on gendercide in India.

Here is what you understood from the video:

In India, there are twice as many boys as girls because of gendercide which is choosing the baby’s gender. Some parents are ready to pay to do abortion when they know their baby is a girl. However, it is illegal.

Boys are financially more attractive because they don’t give dowries before their wedding. Indian families want at least one son to look after their business and name.

Consequently, some men don’t have partners because there are not enough women.

Voc : 

- to be pregnant = to expect a baby

- a boy who is about to get married = a groom

- a girl who is about to get married = a bride
