Gender bias, deep rooted prejudices, and discrimination against girl child have led to many cases of female foeticide in the country. Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act, 1971 passed by the Parliament of India significantly liberalised the abortion laws in India in conformity with the ethical, moral and humanitarian sentiments of our people. Pre-Natal Diagonistic Techniques (Prohibition of Sex Selection) Act, 2003 regulates the pre-conception and pre-natal sex selection and determination of sex before the birth of the foetus. Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (Prohibition of Sex Selection) Act, 1994 passed by the parliament of India is a comprehensive legislation. In this Act the techniques of pre-conception sex selection have been brought within the ambit of the Act so as to pre-empt the use of such technologies, which significantly contribute to the declining sex ratio. However PCPNDT Act has not been successful to curb out this menace completely due to poor implementation of the said legislation.
