The Delhi High Court ruled today that the mother has the final say in cases of foetal abnormalities during pregnancy, as she must consider "also the possibility of a dignified life for the unborn child." "The Court comes to the conclusion that the mother's choice is ultimate. Considering this, the Court holds that the medical termination be allowed. The petitioner is permitted to undergo termination immediately at hospital of her choice."
