Kerala High Court Allows Couple to Hand Over Baby with Skeletal Dysplasia to Welfare Committee
The Kerala High Court permitted a couple expecting a baby diagnosed with a non-lethal form of skeletal dysplasia, a rare genetic condition affecting bone and cartilage development, to hand over the child to the Child Welfare Committee after birth. The couple initially sought termination of the pregnancy beyond 33 weeks, but a medical board advised against it, noting the condition was non-lethal and developmental delays could not be predicted without genetic testing. The court approved the couple's request to transfer custody post-delivery.
