Bombay HC: Can't a woman with 'intellect deficit' be mom?

IndiaTimes Wednesday, 8 January 2025
Bombay high court questioned the denial of motherhood rights to a pregnant woman with a borderline intellectual disability.

The court noted her consent and the medical report indicating no foetal anomalies, emphasizing the law doesn't bar individuals with lower-than-average intelligence from parenthood.
