Jhajjar, India (CNN)-- One-month-old baby lady Khushi, meanings "happiness" in Hindi, would not have actually been alive had her mother, Sumanjeet, given in to press from some relatives and neighbors. "They would cry and yell, 'What are you doing giving birth to a girl? Push her off the roof of the building, kill her! Why are you keeping her? '" the 25-year-old mother says. Sumanjeet says people kept knowing her to get an ultrasound check and abort all four of her daughters. They told her she wouldn't have sufficient money for an appropriate dowry. Although Sumanjeet wasn't quite sure exactly how she was going to raise them, she knew it was a criminal offense to get rid of them. "Why are they killing girls, while they're still in the womb? It's a sin for which they'll have to be answerable to God.
