Doctor Raises Concern Over Repeated Early Pregnancies

A gynecologist in Uttar Pradesh has raised concerns after sharing the case of a 22-year-old woman pregnant with her sixth child. Married at 15, the woman and her husband, who already have four daughters and one son — reportedly want another boy to “continue the family lineage.” The doctor warned of serious health complications linked to repeated pregnancies at a young age, including anemia, exhaustion and nutritional deficiencies.
