AIIMS moves Delhi HC against order allowing minor rape survivor to terminate pregnancy
All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) on Thursday moved the Delhi High Court against an order allowing a 27-week minor rape survivor to terminate pregnancy. A high court single judge on June 30 ordered AIIMS to terminate the 16-year-old girl’s pregnancy.
AIIMS, before a bench of Chief Justice D K Upadhyaya and Justice Anish Dayal, argued that terminating her pregnancy would hamper her future reproductive health. The bench asked the mother of the minor girl and chairperson or a member of the medical board to remain present at around 2.30 pm when hearing would continue. The court also remarked that “advising a rape victim to prolong her pregnancy will entail anxiety” which could have a grave impact on her mental health.
