Desire for male child leads a woman to give birth to 14 daughters in Gujarat

Dahod

A woman has given birth to 14 girls so far in order to fulfill the family’s desire for a male child in a remote village in Dahod district in Gujarat. It was after giving birth to 14 daughters that Kanuben Sangod and her husband Ram Singh Sangod were finally ‘blessed’ with a son. Both Kanuben and Ram are small time farmers and the family lives hand to mouth. Their daughters help them in the fields. Of the 14 daughters born to the couple, two died while another two were married off at a young age. Giving birth to a son doesn’t seem to have satiated the couple’s desire for a male child. Kanuben is pregnant once again and the couple hopes it is a boy this time too.
