A Hindu (Hindu is the religion, Hindi is the language) wife must, traditionally, provide a son because the more sons light up a funeral pyre, the more open the way to heaven. However, this belief is slowly fading, especially in metropolitan areas.

In traditional Indian society, sons are considered important for carrying on the family lineage and performing last rites for the parents. Sons are also expected to provide support and care for their parents in old age. This cultural expectation often puts pressure on wives to provide a son to fulfill these traditional roles.
