The Supreme Court on Friday stated that a woman, particularly a minor, cannot be forced to continue an unwanted pregnancy against her will, as it permitted the termination of a 30-week pregnancy of a girl, who had become pregnant when she was a minor. The verdict was passed by a two-judge bench that included Justice BV Nagarathna and Justice Nagarathna, which said the foremost consideration must be the rights of the minor girl in such cases.
