why is a girl child  considerd as burden?

Hi Bharat,
 
A girl child is considered as burden because parents believe that she would ultimately marry and leave the house, so probably she is considered as burden because she would not provide any income to the family. Also, a girl child faces through some biological changes, to which the parents have to take care of, this might result in extra care for a girl and considered as a burden.
Furthermore, a father of a girl in many places still has to give dowry to the groom’s family, however it is difficult for a poor family to be able to afford it.
 
These were some of the reason as to why a girl child is considered a burden in a family.
 
Hope you have got your answer.
 
Good Luck!!
