They are the legacy of China's strict one-child policy aimed at controlling population growth. They were abandoned by their parents who wanted their only child to be a son. Many of these unwanted girls were given away to foster families. But their foster parents weren't acting out of kindness. Instead, they had a clear goal: one day the girls were to marry their sons.On Foreign Correspondent, a film by Channel News Asia captures the stories of these women who are now trying to reclaim their lives.
