Woman ‘instructed’ on how to conceive male child by husband, in-laws

A woman has moved the Kerala High Court seeking directions to the Director, Pre-Natal Diagnostic Division and Additional Director, Family Welfare, to conduct an investigation and take appropriate action against her husband and in-laws for allegedly giving her instructions on how to conceive a male



child.

She has sought action against them under the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act, 1994.

In her petition, she points out on the first day after her wedding, a note was handed to her by her husband and his family on what needs to be done to conceive a good boy child and not a girl child.
