Rape is considered as most aggravated form of sexual offence which almost takes the life of the victim if she is survives this brutal incident. It is an undesirable and sudden attack on right to life of a women and the survivor of the incident of rape should be provided with best care so that the victim can overcome the mental as well as the physical trauma. Pregnancy as a result of rape is one of the worst nightmares that a woman can face in her lifetime and it is very obvious that no woman whether is a major or a minor girl child would ever want to keep a child if she is a victim of rape. But in India aborting a child was a punishable offence under the Indian Penal Code, 1860 for which often the women or her relatives opted for unsafe abortion in unregistered clinics which might take the life of the victim. To give relief to these survivors of rape the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act was enacted in 1971 so that that unwanted pregnancies as a result of rape can be safely aborted legally through qualified medical practitioners. The judiciary of India has also played a significant role for protection of the rights of rape victims.
