Bombay HC: Can't a woman with 'intellect deficit' be mom?
Wednesday, 8 January 2025 ()
Bombay high court questioned the denial of motherhood rights to a pregnant woman with a borderline intellectual disability. Her father's petition to terminate the pregnancy was contested by the woman herself. The court noted her consent and the medical report indicating no foetal anomalies, emphasizing the law doesn't bar individuals with lower-than-average intelligence from parenthood.
