The baby of a 13-year-old rape victim in India died just two days after being born.
The girl was granted permission by the Supreme Court to terminate when she was 32 weeks pregnant. Indian law dictates that abortions can only be granted for pregnancies up to 20 weeks unless the mother’s life is in danger.
Her father's colleague is under arrest for the rape.
Because the pregnancy was at such an advanced stage the termination resulted in the birth of the baby, who was delivered by Caesarean section in Mumbai on Friday, 8 September, but died on Sunday.
It is believed to be the third case in the past few months involving raped Indian children who became pregnant and sought the court's permission for a termination.
