Cover Story: The object of marriage, and its most important function, in most past societies, was procreation. In a patrilineal kinship system, an offspring that could perpetuate the family name and function as a legitimate heir of the family could be nothing other than a boy. The preference for sons has led to discriminatory practices that are still visible even today, not only in the social sphere but in the age and sex structures of populations. As far as Greece is concerned, demographic studies have indicated that gender-based discriminatory practices as a result of a preference for sons existed at least up to the first half of the 20th century. In fact, demographic indices such as sex ratios at birth and at childhood are so skewed that some demographers are certain that this skewness is due to sex-selective infanticide and neglect of female children. View this paper
