The Madhya Pradesh High Court has permitted a woman to terminate her 13-week pregnancy, affirming her sole right to decide. The court ruled her consent sufficient, negating the need for her estranged husband's permission or judicial approval. Citing Supreme Court precedents, the bench emphasized a woman's autonomy over her body and reproductive choices, ensuring access to safe and legal abortions without coercion.
