A ten-year old rape victim who was denied an abortion has given birth in Chandigarh, in India.
The 10-year old delivered a baby girl via Caesarian section at the Government Medical College and Hospital in Chandigarh, in India.
Both the girl and her baby are in stable condition, according to Dasari Harish, one of the doctors caring for the girl.
The girl was left with no option but to have the baby after India's Supreme Court rejected the family's plea for an abortion three weeks ago, based on the opinions of eight doctors and an examination of the girl.
Her doctor told AFP the girl didn't know she was pregnant. Her parents told her that she needed surgery for a kidney stone problem, and refused to allow medical professionals to tell their child the truth, according to Harish.
"She gave birth through C-section today (Thursday). Both the girl and her baby are doing fine," doctor Dasari Harish told AFP by phone.
