💨 Abstract

The Rajasthan High Court has granted permission for a 13-year-old rape survivor, who is 27 weeks pregnant, to medically terminate her pregnancy. The court's decision was based on the risk to the girl's mental health if she were to carry the pregnancy to term. The hospital has been instructed to provide necessary medical assistance and preserve evidence for a DNA test. The rape case was reported on March 3.
