In a troubling incident from Cuttack district, Odisha, 26-year-old farmer Chandrasekhar Jena has reported that he and his wife, Parbati, were evicted from their home by his family after the birth of their twin daughters last month. The couple claims that Jena's parents and sister assaulted them, expressing anger over the birth of girls instead of boys. Jena stated that his family refused to accept the twins, even threatening their lives before forcibly removing the couple from their home. Parbati recounted her attempts to promote gender equality and the importance of girl children to her in-laws, but these efforts were met with hostility. The local police have registered a case and are conducting an investigation into the allegations. Salipur Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Biranchi Pati confirmed that notices have been served to the accused family members to appear for questioning. This incident underscores the persistent societal preference for male children in India, raising concerns about gender discrimination and violence against women.
