Re: ...Son vs. Daughter...
I know someone who judged the success rate of a marriage and "piety" of a woman based on how many daughters she had. One lady had only had daughters with her husband, and he interpreted that as meaning that she was of no value, and when that lady got divorced, she went on to have 2 more daughters while the new wife gave the husband 3 sons and 1 daughter... so he was like "haha dekho, the first woman was bad, the second is much better." He was like totally obsessed. When his own wife got pregnant and kept seeing recurring dreams of a daughter, they fought alot and he pressured her into getting an abortion which she eventually did. He then had a daughter with his new wife, upon which he was and still is miserable.
I hope that with the mindset he has, he never ever has sons.
