The ratio has declined from approx 169 (2011-2013) to 132 (2014-2016) and to 120 in 2015-2017. Since it is a significant reason for damage and death among women around the world. In this research paper, non-doctrinal research method has been used and its contains 1599 samples. The research proves alternative hypothesis.
