The abortion was turned down by the country’s Supreme Court. Indian law prohibits abortions after 20 weeks except when a mother’s life is at risk.
Both the minor and the baby girl were safe at the state-run hospital in Chandigarh.
The child was repeatedly raped by her uncle over seven months. The pregnancy was discovered after she complained of stomach pains and was taken to hospital last month.
Her uncle was arrested.
The girl was not aware she had delivered a baby, which will be put up for adoption.
