Why is sex determination illegal in India? | Dr Sunil Kumar G S | add-on Scans & Labs

India has an alarming history of gender imbalance. The reason is selective sex abortion of the girl fetuses.
As per the 2011 Census, India's Sex ratio was 943 females per 1000 males.
To address this issue, the PCPNDT Act was introduced in 1994 by the Indian government, which prohibits using techniques to determine the sex of the unborn baby.
The PCPNDT Act has effectively reduced the incidence of sex-selective abortions in India. According to an NHF survey, India's Sex ratio in 2022 is 1020 females per 1000 males.
Under the PCPNDT Act, any person who conducts any pre-natal diagnostic techniques like ultrasound scans and genetic tests to determine the sex of the fetus is punishable with imprisonment extending up to three years and a fine extending up to Rs. 10,000.
It is understood, Parents are curious to know the sex of their unborn baby for various reasons, but asking for a sex determination from the healthcare provider is also a punishable offense.
"Every girl child deserves a chance to live, dream, and contribute to the world. Let us stand together and say no to sex determination and selective abortion.

We often see single loop of loose cord around baby neck in 8th and 9th month. In most cases delivery happen normally but in small percentage cases, cord may obstruct for normal delivery.
