Bengaluru: Husband goes for divorce because of birth of daughter


Daijiworld Media Network - Bengaluru (EP)

Bengaluru, May 20: It is very sad to see modern educated people going for superstitions in life. A husband has gone to family court asking for divorce saying that the birth of a daughter has spoilt his chances of going for Kanakabhisheka.

Kanakabhisheka is a custom where the paternal great grandfather on the birth of his great grandson does Abhisheka presenting flowers of gold to the child. Natural flowers are kept along with gold flowers. Later the gold flowers are donated to the relatives in the family. If the child is a girl, no Kanakabhisheka is held. The birth of girl to Ravi has caused the problem.

Ravi has been trying for divorce for the last three years. The family court after listening to the arguments has expressed shock and is investigating. Family people and elders had convinced Ravi not to go for divorce with the reason of birth of a girl child. He has not paid heed to anybody.

His wife Shailaja is employed in a private company as a software engineer and is living with their three years old daughter.

Names have been changed here to keep the privacy of the concerned.

    The comments of all point towards one thing that this man is absolutely ignorant and needs to be grilled in his mind that it is the man's sperm which determines the sex of the child. There are many couples with not one or two but three daughters and are absolutely happy without any regrets whatsoever. And here this person with just one daughter wants a divorce!

    How can this bloody man blame his wife for having given birth to a girl/daughter. He is equally responsible for this. Giving birth to a daughter wholly depends upon God. Its Gods wish. If he and his parents wants a boy then better to mould one. Whether his mother delivered all boys? Let him check? But why court is hesitating to decide this case ? The delay is unnecessary.

    Disgusting man with a disgusting thinking and mind. Education is only a foundation for a job and it is does not change his mind set. Parenting is the main cause for these narrow thinking. It is very difficult to change the mind of such men and he has brought disgrace to every man in this country. I always feel that men are tensions and one girl is like ten sons. Girls and women are far far matured than men.

    The wife's married life would be hell with this kind of idiotic husband. Perhaps it is better to give him divorce after looking after interest of their daughter. And make sure, a back-breaking alimony be paid to wife until she gets married once again!
    It is unbelievable to see such superstitions I India and practising fools.

    Foolish fellow! !!!! The wife and daughter do not deserve such a stupid husband and father. They may be better off without him. A human heart softens when one sees an innocent child irrespective of being a girl or boy.

    The Court should not grant him a Divorce. If granted it could create a precedence and many a men may use such reasons to obtain a divorce.

    If the news is to be believed, it is indeed shocking. Perhaps he doesn't realize that, according to medical science, male partner only is responsible for a male or female child to his wife. He should be penalized for causing hurt and agony to his wife who is not at all responsible for this biological phenomena.
    Another unfortunate point is that the religion doesn't treat male and female children equally. It teaches that the father gets moksha only if his son and not daughtyer gives him Tarpan. This is the reason for the prevalence of female infanticide and female feticide among Hindus in India where millions of female fetus are abundand even before their birth, as having a female child is considered to be a stigma to the family. It is high time these illogical and unscientific beliefs are discorded forthwith.
