Abortion open to Live-in patners

The Bombay High Court in a pathbreaking decision has extended live-in relationships a pro-choice right that only married women has been enjoying so long.
The law specifies “married woman” in the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act. But the court held that due to change in society, the live-in relationship is of the nature of married relationship. The couple in live-in relationship can also opt for abortion if the pregnancy cause her mental trauma and the termination period is 20 weeks.
