Adverse sex ratio

 So what is to be done to solve this problem? (Continuation of post of 2 January 2023)

• Create more jobs. Demographic dividend is going waste as young people do not have jobs and cannot contribute to society.
• Empowerment of women so that we do not go backward and get rid of female foetuses.

After reading yesterday about the agitation of men who cannot get brides, I have been thinking continuously about this situation. I have become aware of the myriad ramifications of the issue.

So I read with interest this news item in today’s newspaper:

A newly married man recorded the phone conversation of his bride and came to know that she was planning with her relatives to decamp with valuables from the marital home. The man had paid a large amount as bride price already. He complained to the police and the lady, raised as an orphan, was caught.

There have been quite a few cases of newly married women running away with their jewellery.

When an imbalance or disequilibrium exists, touts will first step in to exploit the situation.
