The Calcutta High Court allowed a 42-year-old woman to
terminate her 29-week pregnancy since the foetus was suffering from Down Syndrome,
considering her claim of mental, physical and financial stress. Indian law
allows abortion of foetuses up to 20 weeks old, but courts can make exceptions
in case abnormalities are detected and if there is substantial risk to the
mother’s life and health.
