520			_aIndia is among the frontline countries experiencing a declining female sex ratio over the years. Among several factors influencing the sex ratio, the widespread prevalence of dowry-related crimes may be perceived as a significant contributing factor to the lower preference for female children. This study aims to empirically examine the linkage between dowry deaths and the child sex ratio in India. It is based on secondary data covering three census periods, 1991 to 2011, across 24 Indian states. Additionally, to incorporate recent years, the study utilises time-series data sourced from the World Bank database for the period 2000–20.- Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2025/14/special-articles/linkage-between-child-sex-ratio-and-dowry-related.html
