Women are pioneer of human culture including agriculture, clothing and its prime knowledge. However, millions are escaped before birth using sex determination and selective abortion techniques in patriarchy. About 86% blocks of Maharashtra (India) show child sex ratio (CSR) less than 1000 and block wise average 51 girls are missing. Person's bivariate correlation analysis was used for detection of ‘combinations of causes’ of missing girls and results are tested at two tailed significance level (0.05 and 0.01).
