Mumbai: Aamir Khan says aborting a child after sex determination is wrong and supports the Maharashtra government's proposal to give severe punishment to those involved in such offences.

The state has sought the central government's opinion for slapping a charge of homicide on cultprits of female foeticide.

Commenting upon the state's decision, Aamir Wednesday told reporters: "I think female foeticide is a very serious issue. And if it continues the way it is, it will get worse. I am so happy that Maharashtra government is likely to propose this."
