The Bombay High Court Today (Jan 8) criticized a 66-year-old man for seeking to terminate the pregnancy of his 27-year-old adoptive daughter, citing her below-average intelligence. The Court emphasized that varying levels of intelligence do not strip an individual of the right to motherhood, as the woman and her foetus were found physically normal. Encouraging dialogue about her desire to marry the father of the child, the Court stressed the importance of parental responsibility, setting a significant precedent in a complex legal and ethical case.
