The Allahabad High Court recently concluded that a woman cannot be compelled to give birth to the child of a man who sexually abused her when debating a request to end a 12-year-old girl's 25-week pregnancy. According to the Court, forcing mothers who have experienced sexual assault to bear children would breach their right to live in dignity and bring about inexplicable suffering. The victim has the freedom to choose whether to become a mother, according to a bench of Justices Mahesh Chandra Tripathi and Prashant Kumar.
