Of course if a family has nothing but girls, then definantly they will at least want one boy. And having only one son in the family, also greatly increases his marriagabilty on the rishta market, since he will be the sole heir to his family land, family home, properties, businesses, assets (including his father's life savings after he dies) etc. The feminist media never discloses these things when writing about these stories, only to fuel propoganda for already overgrown bitter women, who already feel inferior about themselves, and blame it on being born a female etc. As you can see from this website, a desi girl can sit and demand rich wealthy men for husbands, some will attack anyone who dares to challenge those backward notions. So what is there to be upset about? If a family has all boys, then they will want to have at least one girl. Some families have only one boy and one girl, one of each and they are happy that way too. everyone is different and have thier different reasons. Male honor also plays a huge role in it. Many guys dont want to girls, especially if they live in the west, because they feel that if they have girls raised in this enviornment, will turn into a skank, or sleep around with different guys, etc.
Ding ding ding! You have hit the nail on the head. One other huge reason why desis don't want girls is the cost of marrying them. Many, if not most, groom's families expect huge dowries, fancy weddings, and expensive gifts. Imagine you have 5 daughters and imagine that there are plenty of shameless families out there that will break an engagement off even on the wedding day if their demands for a car, a refrigerator, a certain amount of cash, gold karay for the MIL, etc. aren't met.

you know i once supported feminism, now its so mainstream, i dont really see any more need for it. Which is why i agree with the men's movement of america, that feminism is too radical and has gone too far and is overtly sexist and biased against males, from young boys to grown adults. equality doesnt mean domination, regardless of what the feminazis would rather have us believe. manipulation, connivving and schemeing, will only make you look evil in the eyes of most men and probably plenty of women too.

Finding out the sex of your unborn baby is banned in India - so I've heard. People were finding out the sex of their babies and then terminating the pregnancy when it was not a male child.

RaatkiRani2005 and you have something in common. Happy for you bro.

If it's only desi's who want boys can somebody explain Davina McCall's comment 'i have given my husband *a son*...'

Why is everyone ganging around him, he actually has a point.

It's how he said it. It really came off like he was blaming women for the phenomenon, instead of blaming the culture/society.

So you didn't actually read what he had to say?

Thats kinda...well...unfair?

He saw something wrong, the one sidedness, I agree with that, everyone was gathering around the "Ooh look at the backwards people" bandwagon, he tries to explain, not JUSTIFY but explain, and everyone gangs up on 'im...

thats kinda wrong...
