The Women and Child Development minister said there is no formal proposal on the matter being considered, though she feels the move will bring down female foeticide rates.

After reports quoted Union minister Maneka Gandhi saying that prenatal sex determination tests should be made compulsory to track women pregnant with girls, the Bharatiya Janata Party leader issued a clarification on Tuesday. The Women and Child Development minister's office said the reports were incorrect, and that Gandhi was discussing effective implementation of the Pre-conception and Pre-natal Diagnostic Techniques Act.

The statement said Gandhi had suggested an alternative where parents who wanted to know the gender of their baby could find out, and would later be tracked in case the baby was female. This would help to check female foeticide. "It should be registered to be able to check whether they have gone through with the births or not," she said.
