Delhi High Court Rules Disability Alone Cannot Deny Reproductive Autonomy
The Delhi High Court ruled that disability alone cannot justify denying reproductive autonomy or approving the removal of reproductive organs. The court considered a plea by parents seeking a hysterectomy for their differently-abled adult daughter who struggles with menstrual management. It directed the formation of an independent multidisciplinary medical board to decide within four weeks if the surgery is in her best interest, emphasizing that medical experts must assess the necessity to protect her welfare and dignity.
