Solution

Sex determination is the prenatal testing for discerning the sex of a fetus before birth. Prenatal sex determination was banned in India in 1994, under the Pre-conception and Prenatal Diagnostic Techniques (Prohibition of Sex Selection) Act. The collection of information on the female fetus and their abortion is therefore outside of legal methods.
