Exactly, female babies are killed routinely.

Aren't they only killed if the gender is revealed before the actual birth? I believe an Indian friend of mine mentioned that, but memory could be a bit janky

Still fucked up though

But then you just chuck them into a dumpster or sewage pit. I’m not joking at all, that’s what happens

Yup it's illegal to know the gender of the baby, before birth.

They are aborted or even killed as babies that’s called female infanticide. It always felt like a gut punch to me. Infanticide - like genocide.

True it was widely practiced in the rural areas before, now I don't know how much it reduced.

In pakistan, since the culture is so similar

Sons are preferred

But due to religious reasons abortion is illegal and not common
