After 10 Daughters, Finally A Son: Father In Tears After 11th Birth; Netizen Calls It Disgusting

This is a clear example of Indian's obsession towards son over daughters. A couple from Jind district in Haryana has gone viral after welcoming their 11th child - a baby boy - following the birth of 10 daughters .

It must be known that the couple has been married for 19 years, and their story has once again highlighted the deep-rooted preference for sons that still exists in parts of India.

In an interview with local media, the father proudly introduced his children, naming his eldest daughter Shrina , who is in Class 12, and Amrita , who studies in Class 11. However, he struggled to recall the names of all his daughters, a moment that stunned viewers and quickly spread across social media.

Doctors at Ojas Hospital , where the baby was delivered, said that both the pregnancy and childbirth were extremely high-risk . The newborn had only 5 grams of blood in his body at birth, and both mother and child remain under medical care.

The incident has reignited discussions around how societal pressure to have a male child can affect women's health, dignity, and emotional well-being.

Netizens Slam The Parents

Once the video of the interview surfaced online, social media platforms were flooded with strong reactions . Many users criticized the parents' attitude and the broader mindset that places higher value on sons than daughters.

One user wrote, "A woman has given birth to her 11th child - a boy, after 10 daughters. The government should take away all 11 children; these parents clearly aren't fit to raise them."

Another commented, "Men's obsession with having a boy is so deep that women's bodies become trial-and-error machines. This is not culture or tradition; it's insecurity and lack of accountability."

Several users expressed empathy for the daughters, pointing out how such situations can create a lifetime of emotional neglect. "Imagine being one of those 10 daughters and watching your father struggle to remember your name," one user wrote.

Others raised questions about women's autonomy in such families. "Do we really think the mother had any say in this? Her opinion doesn't seem to matter at all," another user observed.

The story has opened up a larger conversation about gender discrimination and how it continues to shape family planning in some communities. While girls are often seen as a financial burden due to dowry and marriage expenses, sons are viewed as bearers of family legacy and support in old age.

Ironically, as several users pointed out, daughters who are seen as "less valuable" at birth often become the primary caregivers for their parents later in life. The viral incident serves as a reminder that changing social attitudes toward gender is as important as legal or economic reforms.

Sociologists say such cases reflect a need for education, awareness, and empowerment , especially in rural areas, to help society move away from harmful stereotypes and recognize the equal worth of daughters and sons alike.
