    13-year-old rape-survivor delivers baby two days after SC allowed abortion

    The 13-year-old Mumbai rape survivor, who was granted permission by the SC for aborting her 32-week fetus on 6 September, delivered a boy at Byculla's Sir JJ Hospital. A five-doctor team conducted a Caesarean-section surgery; the newborn weighing 1.7kg was kept in the ICU. Her pregnancy came to light on 9 August when she was taken to a doctor to understand why she was suddenly gaining weight.

    The 13-year-old Mumbai rape survivor, who was granted permission by the SC for aborting her 32-week fetus on 6 September, delivered a boy at Byculla's Sir JJ Hospital. A five-doctor team conducted a Caesarean-section surgery; the newborn weighing 1.7kg was kept in the ICU. Her pregnancy came to light on 9 August when she was taken to a doctor to understand why she was suddenly gaining weight.

    SC allows abortion at such advanced-stage for the first time

    On 6 September, the SC stated: "Considering the age of the petitioner, the trauma she has suffered because of sexual abuse, the agony she is going through, and the opinion of the medical board favoring termination of pregnancy, the termination of pregnancy should be allowed."

    Newborn likely to be handed over to a state-run orphanage

    The minor came to the hospital for medical-tests after which she was admitted for the procedure. The newborn would be handed over to the government if the family refuses the child's guardianship; the infant, likely to be kept at a state-run orphanage, could get adopted. Gynecologist Dr. Nikhil Datar helped the victim file an abortion plea.

    Mumbai gynecologist Dr. Nikhil Datar's statement

    "It is a path-breaking, historic judgment as it relieves the girl of emotional and physical trauma. Our judicial activism started in 2008, but will be complete only when the law is amended to extend the abortion deadline to 24 weeks from the present 20 weeks."

    Girl raped by father's business partner

    The girl was allegedly raped seven months ago by her father's 23-year-old business partner. She had not told her parents about the incident until she was taken to a doctor in August; she was found to be 27-weeks pregnant. Her parents filed a case at Mumbai's Charkop; she was sexually assaulted multiple times by the accused. Police arrested the 23-year-old accused.
