The findings of the study are clearly indicating that the son is being more preferred by the females as compared to males. The preference for male child has been traditionally strong in India since historical time. However, India which is characterized by variations in its economic, social and cultural environment of sub-continental, proportions depicts substantial variations in the degree of son preference in different parts of the country. Son preference is quite strong in the northern plains as well as in central upland regions and it diminishes gradually as one moves towards South of the Satpura hill range and attains the low levels in Tamil Nadu.
