🩺 Abortion in India: Legal Rights for Women (Updated 2025)

Introduction

Abortion in India is legal — but only under certain conditions and within a specific time frame. Many women, especially unmarried girls, remain unaware of their legal rights. Here’s what every woman must know, explained by Dr. Mamta Agrawal, senior gynecologist at Agrawal Clinic, New Ashok Nagar, Delhi.

Key Legal Facts

• Abortion is legal up to 24 weeks of pregnancy (under the MTP Amendment Act 2021).
• It can be performed for both married and unmarried women.
• Consent of the woman herself is sufficient (no parental or partner consent needed if 18+).
• The procedure must be done only at a government-approved or registered MTP centre by a qualified gynecologist.

Confidentiality

Every abortion case is strictly confidential. Your name and details are not shared publicly or with relatives.

When You Should Visit Early

Early consultation (within 6–8 weeks) allows for safe medical abortion with tablets instead of surgery. as early as possible as risk and cost both increases with time.
