A lot of countries / cultures do still have bride prices , i.e. reverse dowry, so there is some economic incentive for women there but probably not enough to commit infanticide or selective abortions that causes some of the lopsided male ratios.
India prohibited doctors from telling parents the sex of their unborn child to combat sex selection.
