💨 Abstract

The Bombay High Court questioned whether a woman with intellectual disability has no right to become a mother, after a medical board report stated that a 27-year-old woman with borderline intellectual disability was fit to continue her pregnancy. The court emphasized the importance of the woman's consent and noted that labeling persons with below average intelligence as unfit to be parents would be against the law. The court postponed the matter for further hearing on January 13.
