Right to have or not to have children cannot be restricted: Kerala High Court.

23-year-old MBA student allowed to terminate 26 weeks' pregnancy.

Kochi: The decision of a woman to have a child or not is entirely her own. There can be no restriction on this right of his. Making these remarks, the Kerala High Court allowed a 23-year-old MBA student to abort at 26 weeks' gestation. A bench of Justice Viji Arun issued the order on November 2, considering the petition of the student.

The student had sought an order to terminate the pregnancy with medical treatment. In fact, the gestation period was long, so no hospital was ready for abortion under the Pregnancy Medical Termination Act, 1971.

Friend left the country so big trouble

The student told the bench that she had consensual sex with her friend but she became pregnant as the contraceptive did not work. She said that the friend she was in a relationship with has left the country for higher education. This added to his troubles. The student told that her menstrual period worsened and after other physical problems, ultrasound was done on the advice of the doctor. The girl was already suffering from Polycystic Ovarian Disease, due to which her periods did not come on time. That's why he didn't pay attention. After ultrasound, she came to know about her pregnancy on 25 October. The girl said in her petition that she wants to terminate the pregnancy medically.
