Female foeticide besides skewed sex ratio and its attendant social evils has grave ethical undertones, especially for medical professionals and our commitment to save lives. Randomly selected 100 women were interviewed using a semi-structured interview schedule to explore the female foeticide perceptions and practices among couples in district Muktsar city and district Shahid Bhagat Singh Nagar of Punjab. Prenatal sex determination among their relatives and neighbors were reported by 80% respondent, though they themselves had never resorted to it. Could this figure influence the proxy rates for community behaviour, perhaps, this needs in-depth exploration. Supporting to this fact, 25.9% of respondents reported of ever been pressurized by their family members to undergo prenatal sex diagnosis of their foetus. Encouragingly 90% of respondents had opined that that repeated prenatal sex diagnosis and abortions are detrimental to the mental and physical health of a woman and are wholly preventable. Stricter laws and honest enforcement of these laws were the commonest suggestions by the respondent to prevent female foeticide in society.
