The Bombay High Court on Wednesday (January 8, 2025) questioned whether a woman with intellectual disability has no right to become a mother.
A division bench of Justices R. V. Ghuge and Rajesh Patil was hearing a petition filed by a 27-year-old woman’s father, seeking permission for medical termination of her 21-week pregnancy on the ground that she was of a mentally unsound mind and unmarried.
The man in his plea submitted that his daughter wanted to continue the pregnancy.
The bench had last week directed that the woman be examined by a medical board at the state-run JJ Hospital in Mumbai.
