Bombay HC allows domestic violence victim to end 23-week pregnancy | Mumbai News

Bombay high court (File photo) MUMBAI: The Bombay high court on Tuesday allowed medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) of a 23-week foetus by a 22-year-old married woman, who said she faced domestic violence and continuing to full term may cause her mental strain. A medical board had said it was advisable to continue the pregnancy and the woman’s condition did not fulfil the MTP criteria of substantial risk of causing grave and mental injury to the mother. A bench of Justices Ujjal Bhuyan and Madhav Jamdar said: “Declining permission would (be) tantamount to compelling her to continue with her pregnancy, which, in the circumstances, will not only become extremely burdensome and oppressive on her but has the potential to cause grave injury to her mental health.” Their reasoned judgment is not yet available.
