I. ABSTRACT:

Right now, the social climate on the planet is in a pretty depressing situation. All around the world, women are denied their rights. The rights of women are protected by Articles 14, 19, and 21 of the Indian Constitution. In those articles, all essential rights are guaranteed. This article will evaluate the recent ruling that unmarried women have the same right to abortion as married women. When the case law is analysed, the facts, the analysis, and a conclusion are revealed. We’ll take a closer look at the ruling and assess the pertinent neighbouring case law. This specific right to an abortion is protected by the right to personal liberty guaranteed by Article 21 of the Indian Constitution, which will be examined in detail. Additionally, an analysis of the MTP Act’s rules and guidelines, which are fundamental legislation that carry the right to abortion, will be done.
