Delhi High Court Modifies MTP Order After Minor Rape Survivor Agrees To Carry Pregnancy

The Delhi High Court permitted a minor rape survivor to carry her 27-week pregnancy after AIIMS recommended prolonging it to 34 weeks for safer delivery and better child health outcomes.

Initially, a single judge had allowed termination, but the order was modified following AIIMS’ fresh medical advice.

The Court directed AIIMS to provide free medical care to both the minor and the child for five years. The court also asked the Delhi Government to outline additional support, including education and vocational training for the survivor and the child.

The matter will be heard next on October 15.
