My husband and I keep trying for a son but we always got daughters, Is there something wrong with me?

The reason why our society lags behing in various economic sectors is because our women are trapped inside a bubble of social equality where men do not allow them to come forward and prove their worth on equal footing.

No then gender of the baby is 100% then the father's genes it is the sperm carries the chromosomes for either male or females. Sperm contain either an xx pair of chromosomes to make a female baby or an xx pair for a male baby. Only men have the XY chromosomes for males babies. Women only have XX chromosomes so could not possibly have the Y necessary for a male child.

I hate how society put this burden on women when it is not even possible or all for a woman's gene to determine gender of the child. Your husband is the one that has the gender genes. in times of ignorance, a girl when born was not even allowed to take few breaths and buried by her male guardians in order to avoid shame (associated with the birth of a female child) or escape the burden of her existence.

The brutal tradition, however got obliterated, following the teachings of Holy Prophet (PBUH) but, unfortunately the old traces of such ignorance in other forms are still existing today. In a society as that of Pakistan where islam is being misused in settling most of the social affairs and family dealings, mistreating a girl and depriving her of her major rights are no exception.

Right from the day when a girl is born, she is being realised that she is inferior to her male counterparts and has to compromise on all the decisions of her life. Be it her father, brother, husband, or a male relative she has to keep her voice low at all the family occasions and is not allowed to express her emotions loudly and enthusiatically.

She has to adjust herself according to the environment that her family prefers and at times, has to give up on her dreams in order to fulfil their exceptions.

If she is found fighting off the cultural taboos overcoming her intrinsic fears, she has no face criticism not only from the society but also from her family members especially her paternal side.

In a male dominant society, a girl feels nothing less than a burden upon her family or perhaps someone who always brings misery from the day she acquires her resistance. Given the existing gender gap in all the social sectors, parents have to struggle enough to satisfy her needs especially providing her basic education and getting for herself a safe shelter.

Luckily, if they desire to make her a self-sufficient person working independently they literally have to walk on the headed coals to maintain her reputation in the society and guard her chastity owing to the prevalence of unwise social practices and no provision of expected justice.

Most of the parents,as a consequences, do not seek daughter as a child so that they can easily avert the double burden -a burden to raise her and to protect her virginity.

Considering a girl as a 'burden", Parents often want to marry her at a very early age due to societal presure and under the pretext of "discharging their responsibilities on time" without letting the girl complete her education and attaining enough maturity.

The curse of dowry has made them dispose of her in marriage as early as possible as they fear they might get short of money with time to satisfy the materialistic needs of her in-laws hence, face disgrace.
