Female babies are vanishing at an alarming rate in contemporary India. Aborting female fetuses and killing infant girls is causing a dangerous imbalance in India's male-female ratio. Will these illegal practices ever end in a male-oriented culture?
THE FORBIDDEN DAUGHTER is the story of one young mother who refuses to obey her in-laws' dictate to abort her unborn second daughter. When her husband becomes the victim of a mysterious murder plot, leaving her with one daughter and another on the way, her only option is to leave her tyrannical in-laws and raise her girls on her own. But unexpected danger threatens to rip apart her new life. Suddenly the stakes become impossibly high.
