Why should the woman kill herself when it's her husband's fault?

It's the mofo's sperm that dictates boys or girls!

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) -- An Egyptian woman married to a man with six daughters from previous marriages drowned herself Saturday just hours after giving birth to a girl because she feared her husband's reaction to fathering another daughter.
The 27-year-old woman left her home in Saff, a rural town about 25 miles [40 kilometers] south of the Egyptian capital, Cairo, and drowned herself in an irrigation canal three hours after giving birth to her second daughter, police officials told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
Before his wife gave birth, her husband had threatened to kill or divorce her if the couple had any more daughters, police said.
Society in rural Egypt is largely conservative, and many parents often prefer having sons to daughters for cultural and economical reasons.
Divorce is also considered a taboo in such areas. Many women would rather their husband take a second wife than be divorced.
The husband, 38, had been married three times before. In each case, he divorced his wives after they gave birth to girls.

Just my $.02
Wouldn't with that many daughters,
one would meet and marry and a man,
he would get to meet,
and one day consider,
to be his son.
Sad he put limits on his wife, and can now never have a son from her.

you know...it's the man's sperm that contributes the Y chromosome, which makes the fetus a boy. The women ONLY contributes the X chromosome, so it's up to the father to make the baby a boy or girl b/c he's the only one who can contribute BOTH X and Y. Maybe that husband in that story would get himself checked out...or get mad at HIMSELF and cut off his balls or something. I feel very bad for women who are so worried about the sex of the child that they forget about the joy of having a child whether it's a boy or girl.
