Mumbai: The Bombay High Court on Wednesday questioned whether a woman with intellectual disability has no right to become a mother.
A division bench of Justices R V Ghuge and Rajesh Patil was hearing a petition filed by a 27-year-old woman's father, seeking permission for medical termination of her 21-week pregnancy on the ground that she was of a mentally unsound mind and unmarried. The man in his plea submitted that his daughter wanted to continue the pregnancy.
