Before Islam having a female baby was a disgrace that it was acceptable if their fathers buried them alive, and there were no consequences for this heinous crime. However, when prophet Mohammad (PBUH) brought the message of Islam, that practice was abolished: "When the female (infant) buried alive is questioned for what crime she was killed" (Quran 81:8-9) Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said: "Whosoever has a daughter and does not bury her alive, does not insult her, and does not favor his son over her, Allah will enter him into Paradise" (Ahmed) [1]
