Sex-specific feticide is considered to be relatively common practice in India, where the male:female sex ratio at livebirth was about 1·10 in 2010–12,1 as opposed to a comparable sex ratio of 1·06 for Asian countries in 2010.2 These changes have occurred over recent decades, with one study3 of hospital deliveries in New Delhi reporting an increase in the sex ratio at livebirth from 1·06 in 1985 to 1·16 in 2005. In response to the introduction of ultrasound scanning in India in the 1980s, the national government passed a piece of legislation (the Pre-natal Diagnostic Techniques Act) making determination of fetal sex illegal.
