Killed before knowing the world

I am going to tell a real but very horrible story. Though I haven't witnesses something like this, I read an article about it in newspaper. And my heart stopped beating for a while after reading such a thrilling article.

There's a village in India. As it's not popular, I couldn't remember the name of it. However there is a river beside the village and opposite of the river, a town exist. There was a abandoned place beside the river. Actually, it was a place where the people of town used to throw away their thrush. One day a little bit of the town went to the place full of thrash to take his football which he was using to play with his friends. But he was being afraid to go front because there were so many dogs eating something from some black plastic bags. And they were looking too scary to the boy as the dogs have blood on their mouth. Seems like they were eating whole animal by piercing and ripping them with their mouth. The boy gained some strength and tried to go frontward but the dogs scared him more and he ran away from there.

After some times, he came back with his friends but still it couldn't help to take their ball. A passer by was coming to threw his thrush and seeing the boys he felt curious. So, he went closer and asked what's the matter. The boy described about the dogs and seek for help to get their ball. The man took a heavy stick and drove the dogs away. The dogs were quite stronger and fatty but the man won against them and succeed to drove the dogs away. Suddenly he felt curious what the dogs were eating. What's inside those plastic bags. He went to see but he was terrified by taking a look inside a plastic bag. He couldn't believe his eyes. He rushed and take a look at another bag and saw the same things. He called the police to take care the rest. After some investigation, police reported that:

In each bag, there were corpse of newborn babies. And each of them were newborn girl baby. The villager pour the newborn girls in black plastic bags and threw them in the river. And they reached here with the flow of water. As it was continuing for a long time, the dogs knew their foods are coming in this way. And the dogs helped the villagers to hide their crime by eating the corpse and filling their hungry stomachs.

Now, the question is why they were doing such crimes? I have to give a description of a normal girl in the village.

Her name was Laxhmi. She was just fourteen years old when her parents forcedly get her married with a man eighteen years older than her. In this village, only men studied and girls have to get married and work for their in-laws. More like girls are treating like slaves.

However, after three years Laxhmi get pregnant. As there were no such a big hospital, she couldn't get proper treatment. Besides she couldn't skip work for her family. She had to work from morning till night. And when it was time for delivery, an experts has been called to their home. She took the child out of it's mother's belly and declared that it's a girl. Listening to her, everyone became angry and disappointed on Laxhmi. But the husband of Laxhmi smiled forcefully in front of the delivery expert and thanking her, he said she can go now. After she left, all of the family members started cursing on Luxhmi. Even they didn't touch the baby as it was a girl. Laxhmi started crying as she remembered what she promised to her in-laws. She was forced to promise that she have to give birth of a male baby. i

And if she gave birth of a girl, then she must sacrifice her baby or else she won't be able to live. The oldest of the house declared that it's the time and they have to threw it soon as other family also does. Laxhmi started begging as she was feeling pity on her newborn daughter. And she doesn't want to kill her. But who'd listen to her. They started torturing her mentally and physically. They told her that the daughter won't be helpful for anyone. And as they weren't rich, they can't afford to get her marry. She will be useless and just will be a burden for the family.

As Laxhmi was weaker, she couldn't fight back. And after getting beaten, she had to agree with them and put the baby in a plastic bag. She was crying badly but it wasn't helpful for her. She had to took her child to the river and threw it in the river. And after the night, the baby was crying and something approached to her. Yes, the dogs opened the bag and started torn her apart and filling their stomach.

I was totally in shock by knowing about it. But when I researched about it, I figured out that it was normal there and there is some places like this in our country where they do the same or just abortion the baby after doing the ultrasonography and knowing that there's a girl living inside her mother's stomach.
