Journal Title: International Journal of Educational Science and Research (IJESR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
In Indian society girls status is deprived and lowers due to negative thoughts, beliefs and due to gender biased attitude. In Indian context the lower status ascribed to women stemming from societal perception, values or practices that view them as an overburden and danger to particular family dignity which leads to male preference and same attitude is followed by generation to generation. Patrilineal property transfers, religious and ritualistic practices and other socioeconomic factors together lay emphasis on the need for a male offspring. The low status of women matters, both from a rights perspective and because of the potentially large economic consequences. The present study was conducted in Bikaner panchayat samiti. For selection of samples, from each village or ward5 male and 5 female parents were selected purposely to getting total sample size of 40. Attitude of both urban and rural female was not significantly associated with family income because they possess their own thinking, perception and attitude towards girl child which may not be affected by family income. In urban area attitude towards education and social obligation were associated towards family type whereas in rural area attitude towards career and sex preference were associated towards family type.
