The Madras High Court has allowed a pregnancy termination beyond the 24-week limit due to severe foetal abnormalities. The court ruled that the mother has the right to decide against bringing a severely impaired child into the world. The case involved a couple whose request for termination was initially rejected by a medical board. Medical scans revealed significant brain abnormalities, including agenesis of the corpus callosum and ventriculomegaly, which posed a high risk of intellectual disability, epilepsy, and developmental delays.
