Medical report sought for minor's abortion
The Free Press Journal|May 12, 2024
The Bombay High Court has called for a report from the medical board of JJ Hospital on a petition by a mother seeking medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) of her 12-year-old daughter after she was sexually assaulted by her elder brother, 14.

The mother approached the high court seeking permission for MTP as the daughter is more than 25week pregnant. The legal limit for MTP, without court permission, is 24-weeks.

Advocate Ashley Cusher, appearing for the mother, submitted that the daughter complained of a stomach ache on May 2. She was taken to a local health centre, where the doctor suspected her pregnancy. This was confirmed by tests.

The girl was produced before the Child Welfare Committee, Palghar, the next day which then sent her to a rescue home.
