Overview
In a shocking revelation, the Kerala High Court has dismissed a plea seeking the termination of the pregnancy of a 12-year-old girl allegedly involved in an incestuous relationship with her minor brother. The court, in its December 22 order, cited the advanced stage of the pregnancy, currently at 34 weeks, and declared termination at this point as not tenable, if not impossible. Instead, the court ruled that the child must be allowed to be born through either a caesarean section or normal delivery, leaving the decision to medical experts.
