AIIMS challenges court order allowing minor rape survivor to terminate pregnancy
The case highlights the complex intersection of law, medicine, and survivor rights. While the MTP Act permits abortions beyond 24 weeks only in limited conditions, the court cited mental trauma and previous rulings to justify its order allowing abortion at 27 weeks.. AIIMS, however, maintains that the risks of proceeding are too great at this stage.
