Hello,

The husband’s consent is very much required for the wife in case of abortion because parenthood is a right of the husband and the wife cannot deprive him from his right and doing this will amount to cruelty. The husband can file a case of divorce on the ground of cruelty. You can also check the detailed provisions of legal abortion which are given in the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act, 1971 wherein Section 3 to Section 5 of this act specify the situation when abortion is permissible. As you are saying that your wife did abortion illegally with the help of your in-laws, you have 6 months of time after knowing about it to book the people responsible for abortion under various IPC sections (S. 312 / 315 r/w S. 34 IPC including booking the medical center where the abortion took place. Act fast within the time ( 6 months from the date of knowing about the abortion) as medical center where the abortion need not preserve records for more than 6 months as per Indian Medical Council guidelines. I hope this helps.

Dear Client,
Why did they choose for abortion. Is there any dissatisfaction on you on any ground. Why did they give warning for paying some amount. You must depict full picture. Don`t fear. Consult a Legal Expert and put all the matter before him and take appropriate legal advise.
