anyone who says all these social deformities are linked or practiced in that part of world from ancient time has limited, one-dimensional & superficial knowledge of ancient vedic system. Female Infanticide is not the only social deformity happened, in last 1000 yrs, there are many to name.
even as someone said, stopping dowry system (by govt) will not going to work; these are social problems, created in hundreds of years, will vanish in due time by social changes; there’s awakening for sure.
