Abstract：
:In 2017, a 10-year-old girl, who was allegedly raped and impregnated, was denied an abortion on the basis of the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act 1971. This perspective re-examines this issue while prioritizing the best interest of the child. We recommend that boards should be constituted at district-level hospitals, headed by senior pediatricians, and supported by obstetricians, psychologists, neonatologists, medical social workers, and others to decide the course of action - in particular, the outcome, irrespective of the weeks of pregnancy. If not compatible with the child's life, earlier termination of pregnancy should be considered ensuring the availability of state-of-the-art care to the newborn and the young mother.
