Delhi's Sex Ratio Declines: Experts Cite Multiple Factors

The number of girls born compared to boys in Delhi is going down.

This means there are fewer girls being born compared to boys, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic.

Experts believe this is happening because some people are choosing to have abortions if they find out they're having a girl.

Also, fewer babies are being born overall.

The government has laws against this, but the problem continues.

The lower number could lead to problems later on, like fewer women in education, jobs, and marriage pools.
