A Decision

EK FAISLA is the story of a home where even the mention of ‘family planning’ before the elderly is deemed taboo, and the responsibility, rather blame, of the newborn’s gender is imposed only on the woman. In an effort to get a boy, the couple is about to have their fourth child. The circumstances have led to an environment of constant emotional stress, health issues and financial burden. In the current scenario, the husband has to make a choice between the social stigmas and his family’s wellbeing. It is high time that he took the right decision for the betterment of his family.
