Union Minister for Women and Child Development Maneka Gandhi has suggested that sex determination tests should be made compulsory to check the rising cases of female foeticide.
"In my personal view, the woman should be compulsorily told that whether it is a boy or girl child whom she is going to give birth. It should be registered to be able to check whether they have given the births or not," the minister for Women and Child Development said.
"I am just putting out this idea. It is being discussed though there is no conclusion yet," she said adding that it is a different way to look at this problem of female foeticide which could be solved with this idea.
"We cannot keep catching people doing (illegal) ultrasound," she said, adding that arrest of such people was not a permanent solution.
