đź’¨ Abstract

On May 12, the Gujarat High Court permitted the termination of a 33-week pregnancy of a 13-year-old rape victim from Rajkot, overruling an earlier rejection by a special POCSO court. Justice Nirzar Desai approved the procedure despite medical risks, considering the victim's age and the circumstances. The court directed the PDU General Hospital to perform the abortion with necessary precautions. The victim was allegedly repeatedly raped by her neighbor.
