Sexing of an individual by skeletal remains can be well established by using pelvis in adults especially on fused bones only. Forensic fetal Osteology is the field which needs to be explored for sex determination. The 34 pairs of Fetal pelvis bones (>22 weeks and <22 weeks of gestation) in different stages of decomposition were studied for morphognostic parameters i.e. Genove's composite arch and Schutkowski's Arch Criterion, Sciatic Notch Angle and Auricular Surface Elevation and compared with 26 pairs (10 Males+16 Females) of adult hip bones with already known sex. Criteria evaluated and their results were good enough for establishing sex in fetal specimens especially of >22 weeks with 100% accuracy. The findings in our study showed 100% accuracy in determination of sex by fetal ilium bone which can be used as a potential tool for sex determination.
