Doctors are equally responsible for this sinful act. They do

deterioration in an imbalanced society. These days, there is
problem of a fatherless society. There are many families without
a father, as couples marry and divorce in quick succession. In
the absence of a father, the mother has to single-handedly raise
the children. This issue is at the centre of attention in American
