- A certain section in the Indian Penal Code criminalises voluntary miscarriage
- The upper limit of the gestation period upto which a woman can seek a medical abortion is 20 weeks according to the MTP Act
Select the correct statement/s:
Correct
Solution (b)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Statement 3 Incorrect Correct Incorrect Amendment to Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act in 2021 has substituted the term ‘Husband’ with ‘partner’, which implies that the law covered unmarried women within its ambit. Section 312 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, criminalises voluntarily “causing miscarriage”. In 2021, MTP Amendment Act 2021 was passed with certain amendments in the MTP Act including all women being allowed to seek safe abortion services on grounds of contraceptive failure, increase in gestation limit to 24 weeks for special categories of women, and opinion of one provider required up to 20 weeks of gestation. Abortion can now be performed until 24 weeks pregnancy as the MTP Amendment Act 2021 has come in force by notification in Gazzette from 24 September 2021. Context: Supreme Court came up with a judgement on Unmarried Women having right to safe abortion
