Abstract

Infertility; an inability to conceive after unprotected
intercourse for a period of at least one year, is associated
with several medical conditions in both men and women
which may end up in depression and a number of medical,
psycho- social disorders1. It has been observed that female
partners are usually blamed for this condition, especially
when they are living in joint families2. Since we are aware
of the fact that females in many settings are put into early
marriage for the sake of royalty or for carrying forward the
genetic legacy which prevents them from seeking higher or
sometimes even basic education and thus ending up believing
in misconceptions and myths. This renders them with lack
of awareness and therefore a positive approach for diagnosis
and management of infertility.
