The Govt should take away all 11 children; these parents clearly aren’t fit to raise them. pic.twitter.com/X8fneVnJAK

Social media has reacted with heavy criticism
The video triggered a range of reactions on social media. Some users criticised the family’s decision to have so many children, arguing that raising and educating 11 children is a major responsibility. One of the users said that, “A woman has given birth to her 11th child – a BOY, after having 10 daughters. The government should take away all 11 children; these parents clearly aren’t fit to raise them.”
Another user while highlighting the patriarchal mindset said that, “Men’s obsession with having a “boy” is so deep that a woman’s body becomes a trial-and-error machine. 10 daughters weren’t enough. One son finally arrives and suddenly society wakes up. This isn’t culture. This isn’t tradition. This is insecurity, entitlement, and zero accountability. Stop blaming women for births. Start questioning men who can’t accept daughters.”

Harsher comments that denounce patriarchy
Some users’ reactions were harsher than others, “Imagine being born as one of those 10 daughters, your father has to recall your name, a life of unwantedness, where basics are struggle, you neither are rich, nor can experience parental love, I would choose to be aborted as a foetus over this,” wrote one user.
One user commented about whether the mother had any choice, “Do we really think the mother was given any real choice in this? Her views are not even asked for in the video. The father struggles to even name all ten daughters. If women had real choices the divorce rate in this country would not be 1%.”
The video highlights the patriarchal mindset that runs deep in most rural areas of India.
