Answer

  1. Rajasthan

Explanation:

Amniocentesis is an analysis of amniotic fluid to ascertain any congenital genetic or chromosomal disorder in the fetus.

One dangerous trend is the misuse of amniocentesis to determine the sex of the unborn child.

Frequently, if the fetus is found to be female, it is followed by MTP or medical termination of pregnancy- this is totally illegal.

This problem is especially acute in north Indian states like Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana.
