In many Asian cultures, begetting a female child is the biggest curse a family can endure.
Aapni Dhikri Ro Hak blog talks about families where they named their daughters "Maafi", literally meaning "Sorry", as a act of requesting forgiveness from God.
She is Maafi. Maafi in Hindi means 'Sorry'. She is the fourth girl born to her parents. They were so detested after Maafi's birth that they sought forgiveness from God. That is why they chose to name their fourth girl child 'Maafi'. Sorry God, no more daughters please.
Like a lot of times, I find that I've arrived at a blog a few days too late. In this case, it's almost a month, but do check out the Aapni Dhikri Ro Hak (Give your daughter her rights) campaign.
