On Thursday, India's top court upheld the right of a woman to an abortion up to 24 weeks into pregnancy regardless of marital status, a decision widely hailed by women’s rights activists.
The right to abortion has proved contentious globally after the OR v. Wade was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court that had legalized the procedure across the United States.
“Even an unmarried woman can undergo abortion up to 24 weeks on par with married women,” said Justice D.Y. Chandrachud of India’s Supreme Court, holding that a woman’s marital status could not decide her right to abort.
