Sex Determination Tests: Machines Sealed, Court Discharges Accused

In India, it is illegal to find out the sex of a baby before it is born.

Officials are cracking down on clinics that are suspected of doing this illegally.

In Petlad, a hospital's sonography machine was sealed for allegedly performing sex determination tests.

In Rajkot, a woman who ran a hospital was accused of offering sex determination, but a court dismissed the case because the police, rather than the correct authorities, started the case.

This is to ensure doctors don't reveal the baby's gender.
