The law was supposed to prohibit the use STDs (including ultrasound) that were used to determine the sex of the fetus. It further prohibits advertising of such gender detection technologies. He planned to punish the people performing these tests as well as those who sought to take this test. “Under the law, prenatal diagnostic techniques could only be used to detect abnormalities under certain conditions by registered institutions”4 (Chauhan 1998; Kapur, Khan & Radhakrishnan 1999 and Kumar1994).
