On Sunday, a 13 -year -old innocent victim victim in Rajkot gave birth to a healthy girl. This girl, who became a mother at the age of playing, was raped by her own cousin and her friend.
The girl was 33 weeks pregnant. On May 12, the Gujarat High Court allowed abortion.
Delivery due to medical complexion
Abortion was allowed by the Gujarat High Court, but had to be delivered due to medical complexes. The baby’s fetus was weighing two kilos in the stomach. Apart from this, the minor had anemia. In such a situation, the girl was in danger of life. In such a situation, the doctors thought better to Caesarean (Operation from delivery) instead of abortion.
This is the first case in the country when the court allowed abortion in a 33 -week pregnancy. Earlier in 2017, the Supreme Court allowed a 32 -week abortion.
The girl’s mother did her second marriage
A woman from Maharashtra was divorced in 2022. The woman also had two children. After this, he married a young man living in Rajkot to another. Meanwhile, the woman along with her 13 -year -old daughter went to her sister’s house in Maharashtra on 27 April 2025. Here the daughter complained of stomach pain and got an inquiry into the government hospital. It was found that the girl is pregnant for 20 to 22 weeks.
After this, the matter reached the police and the woman police counselor came to know the whole truth from the girl. The girl told him that her cousin Sahil (name changed) and her friend raped her several times in Rajkot. The girl’s mother lodged a complaint against the accused Sahil and her friend in the Chhalisgaon police station (Jalgaon district).
Rajkot transferred from Maharashtra
A case of rape was registered in Maharashtra, which was later shifted to Rajkot. Rajkot police registered a case on 29 April and started further investigation. After the arrest of the accused, it was found that both the accused of rape were also minors. Both are in a minor reform home on the court’s order.
The lower court dismissed the plea of abortion
After the rape case was registered, the biggest concern for the girl and her family was about the fetus in the stomach. On May 2, the minor accused were arrested. The next day i.e. on 3 May, the girl’s family filed a petition for abortion in the lower court of Rajkot. When the lower court asked for a medical report, it was found that the minor was now pregnant for 31 weeks and 6 days. The court dismissed the petition seeking permission for abortion on 6 May.
The victim’s family reached the High Court
The next day, the victim’s family pleaded with the High Court. In view of the seriousness of the case, the High Court ordered Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital of Rajkot to conduct a medical examination of the minor immediately. Two days later, the hospital handed over the medical report to the court, saying that the fetus in the stomach of the girl is 1.99 kg.
The baby is also suffering from anemia, so ICU and specialist doctors will be needed during abortion. Eventually the High Court allowed abortion. The court ordered that the team of ICU, blood and experts should be arranged within a week. The child’s abortion will be in Rajkot Civil Hospital.
