Dagestan girls - under the knife

In Dagestan, the number of abortions increases due to the undesirable sex of the child. Girls fall into disgrace. PublicPost found out the reasons for the prosperity of gender selection.

Makhachkalinka Zarem Musaeva has already made two abortions from the child’s gender. “The husband is the first to want a son,” she explains Publicpost. “I really love my husband, so I want his desire for the first son to be fulfilled. Yes, they have already told me that abortions are dangerous for health. But I do them in Moscow, for good money and in a good clinic.”

Another Makhachkalinka, Rosa Sabieva, was the first to give birth to a daughter, and now she herself certainly dreams of her son: “I don’t know the gender of the child, but I know for sure that I want a boy. If there is a girl again, I will have to be aborted. My husband and I want to have only two children - a boy and a girl.”

The women go exclusively for the abortion to please her husband, told the Publicpost by the head of the Makhachkala abortion Irina Khanikalova: “There are at least five girls at least. Of these, one of them, as a rule, wants to terminate the gender of the child. According to our observations, abortion is most often done if the woman is again pregnant with the girl. Well, there is only one reason? Well, there is only one reason? Well, there is only one reason? To please the husband, for example, is afraid that the husband can have a second wife in the sake of the sake of the birth of a son.

The real figures of gender selection are difficult to establish, Khanikalov is sure: “About five years ago we could not sit still, the influx of customers was large. But now there are many private clinics practicing abortions. There are dozens of them in Makhachkala. There are clinics that do the like without the permission of the operation. Girls also go beyond the borders of the republic - in Astrakhan, Rostov, Moscow. stages, and, as you know, the sooner you have an abortion, the safer it is. "

In Dagestan, abortions used to be made in exceptional cases, the historian Sergei Chipashvilli was assured by the historian, known in the republic: “If they removed the undesirable fruit, then only in two or three cases. If the girl was walking up the child, if the pregnancy came after rape. Of course, it was impossible to consider the gender of the child before. If the husband and wanted her son, they either had a second wife, or wait for the first In Dagestan, there are vivid examples of how to fight the birth of the girls.

From the point of view of religion, gender selection is unacceptable, Dagestan Theologian Magomed Saadulaev said: “There is no chosenness for a woman or man in religion. Pregnancy can only be terminated if forty days have not passed since conception. After that there is only one permitted case for abortion: when pregnancy threatens the mother’s life. But, again, abortions in Islam are extremely undesirable.”

Dagestan is one of the leaders in Russia in the birth rate. For example, last year, according to the regional social insurance fund, the birth rate in the republic exceeded mortality by more than 3 times . Nevertheless, in Dagestan, the birth rate decreases every year, the sociologist Kamal Sharipov notes: “Having analyzed the dynamics of birth rate in Dagestan over the past fifteen years, I can say that we have the highest rates of decrease in the birth rate in the North Caucasus. The population in the birth rate is Europeiparral. Two to three children. They give birth to them. In large temporary intervals.
