Abortion in India is legal only up to twenty weeks of pregnancy under specific conditions and situations which are broadly defined as: * the continuance of the pregnancy would involve a risk to the life of the pregnant woman or of grave injury of physical or mental health, or * there is a substantial risk that if the child were born, it would suffer from such physical or mental abnormalities as to be seriously handicapped. An adult woman requires no other person's consent except her own.〔http://m.icma.md/country/IN/〕 In many parts of India, daughters are not preferred and hence sex-selective abortion is commonly practiced, resulting in an unnatural male to female population sex ratio due to millions of developing girls selectively being targeted for termination before birth.〔The Economist.
