Baby of 13-year old Indian rape victim dies 3-days after birth


The13-year-old girl, who was allegedly raped by her father's colleague, is currently mourning the death of her baby 3 days after delivery despite court order stating the pregnancy should be terminated.
The 13-year old was 32 weeks pregnant at the time of the court order,which is beyond India's 20-week legal limit for pregnancy terminations where there us danger to the life of the mother or the baby.

Due to the traumatic incident leading to the pregnancy, the Indian supreme court ordered that the victim be allowed to terminate the pregnancy. However, some doctors took a call to save the foetus by performing a caesarean section.

  1. Madam, english word: terminate the pregnancy, not terminate the baby. Terminate means stop, getting the baby via CS is a method of terminating the pregnancy. The court order was to terminate the pregnancy. Hoping the baby will survive is wishful thinking on the doctor's part. I will stop here now...
