Man throws wife out for delivering female child

The chemistry of X and Y chromosomes, it seems, proved too much for Satender Kumar Prajapati to understand.

Prajapati, a spice dealer in Bharat Nagar in northwest Delhi, should have known it was due to him that his wife was not able to bear a male child. But the businessman threw his wife Vandana out instead for delivering a female child two months ago.

The incident was reported on August 29 when Vandana went to the police station with her daughter and filed a complaint against her husband and in-laws.

"My husband started cursing me when I gave birth to a baby girl. They wanted a boy instead of a girl. They ill-treated me and my daughter when we needed utmost care. My husband and my in-laws told me to leave the house.

There was no sign of happiness on their faces when I gave birth to my daughter. I felt so bad but I thought that every thing will be fine after sometime, but I was wrong, the situation went from bad to worse. They didn't take care of me and my daughter and finally my husband told me to get out of the house," alleged Vandana.

She was married to Prajapati, 25, three years ago. This was their first child, but Satender's family was expecting a boy.

"We received a complaint from the lady and we called her husband to the police station to broker peace between the couple but Prajapati refused to compromise. If he stays adamant we would take appropriate action against him," said a police officer.

The family members of Satender, however, refused any such incident occurred.
"We haven't done any such thing with Vandana. She picked up a fight and left home on her own," claimed Prajapati.

Vandana is planning to move to the National Commission for Women (NCW), if her husband and in-laws do not mend their ways.

"I will not return to their house in these circumstances. There is no place of mercy for them. I will move the NCW, if they don't apologise," Vandana added.
