I have read that many of these girls are off the books, not officially registered, so that parents could have another child. Then the boy is registered so he can be educated. That sounds much more likely to me. Especially since the counts of boy/girl ratio imbalance comes from official statistics of registered children.

I saw a news report several years ago like 60 Minutes where they went to a small village in China and found very lopsided boy to girl ratios. They interviewed the boys about what they were going to do to find wives and the boys were under the impression that there must be villages that were mostly girls just like they were mostly boys and they could find a wife there
