X vs The Principal Secretary Health And ... on 29 September, 2022
17. More recently, in the case of X v. The Principal Secretary, Health
and Family Welfare Department, Government of NCT of Delhi, AIR
2022 SC 4917; this Court, in another three-judge Bench lead by Dr.
D.Y. Chandrachud, J. (as the learned Chief Justice then was) observed
that a woman can become pregnant by choice irrespective of her
marital status. In case the pregnancy is warranted, it is equally shared
by both the partners. However, in case of an unwanted or incidental
pregnancy, the burden invariably falls on the pregnant woman
affecting her mental and physical health. Article 21 of the Constitution
recognizes and protects the right of a woman to undergo termination of
pregnancy if her mental or physical health is at stake. Importantly, it is
the woman alone who has the right over her body and is the ultimate
decision-maker on the question of whether she wants to undergo an
abortion.
