Yes, with China's one child policy they are forced to do that. If they have a son their family line can continue within their own family and they will have someone to work for them on the farm. But with a daughter, she cannot do they same amount of physical work and will move out of the family. Most of the Chinese are rural rice farmers. They don't have access to proper medical treatment so the method of abortion can be nasty. And then if they do have more than one child they have to either pay a huge fine or have that child killed.

Mugh boyat shakur wobasu che dase dzoy ke na woosegu.

You are right. We should thank Allah that he would bless us at all with any offspring rather than complaining about their gender.
