While over the years, the courts have passed orders allowing termination of pregnancy of minor rape victims, they have to face a long ordeal to get the “unwanted pregnancy” terminated. The victims first approach doctors and hospitals and following their refusal move to the courts for relief. While the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act (MTP Act) allows abortions until 20 weeks, rape victims continue to file petitions seeking termination of their pregnancy as doctors refuse to go for their abortion.
