This could be a good thing.
I think this policy could be a good thing for promoting the equal treatment of women or diversity or both. Pretty soon all those over-abundance of men for the fewer available women will have an effect. Either girls will start to become more valuable due to scarcity. Perhaps those girls in rural families will be able to "marry up". Or, women's position in society will change - she will no longer be required to leave home to join her husband's family. Or we'll start seeing true polygamy rather than just polygyny - we'll see WOMEN with multiple husbands, instead of the other way around. Or finally, Indian families will have to broaden their horizons and allow their husbands to marry women of other races.
Yeah, it's kinda sad. But I'm sure it will be self-correcting, eventually.
