==Historical Background== | |||
In rural areas, birth and death records were not considered needed, since usually a witness could give the information if required. In the past, this information was generally not required.<ref name="Bhan1">Bhan, B.

Villagers do not like to give the name of a woman to a man, so generally the name of the mother was not recorded in birth records, which are usually created by men.<ref name="Bhan2">Bhan, B.
