In Uttar Pradesh's Hamirpur district, a mother-in-law could not control her emotions after her daughter-in-law gave birth to a girl child.

Stranger than fiction, where women are brought down for giving birth to girl children, this mother-in-law has created history reacting otherwise.

Prema Devi is a retired health department inspector. She is of the view that daughters are better than having sons.

Prema Devi's son is a government official at Hamirpur district headquarters and her daughter-in-law Khushbu on the other hand is a housewife.

According to an Indian Samwad report, Khushbu gave birth to a baby girl and Prema Devi hosted a small party to celebrate her granddaughter's birth.



HONDA CITY

In the party itself, Prema Devi announced that on the festival of Diwali, she will gift a brand new Honda City to her daughter-in-law.



DAUGHTER-IN-LAW TO DAUGHTER

Upon receiving the generous gift from her mother-in-law, tears of joy rolled down Khushbu's face.

Prema Devi said, "the practice of female infanticide can only end when daughters-in-law are treated as daughters. After all they're somebody else's daughters as well".

"If daughters-in-law are loved the way daughters are loved, they bring happiness to home."

Khushbu says that she is extremely blessed to have Prema Devi as her mother-in-law. Even she is of the view that daughters-in-law should treat their mothers-in-law like their own mothers.
