When a bride gives birth to a daughter instead of a son, her mother-in-law may consider this a failure in her duty to produce a male heir. This can lead to criticism, pressure and abuse towards the bride as well as the girl herself. The mother-in-law may blame the daughter-in-law for not meeting expectations and view the daughter as a disappointment or burden.
