Taking into consideration the well-being of a 15-year-old girl, who was sexually abused by her father and grandfather in Thanjavur district, which resulted in her pregnancy, the Madras high court on Tuesday allowed pregnancy termination, though the gestation period was 25 weeks. The court was hearing a petition filed by the maternal aunt of the minor girl who sought to terminate her pregnancy. According to the petitioner, after the death of the girl’s mother, her father and grandfather sexually assaulted her. A case was registered under sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act and both the accused were arrested.
