If duration of pregnancy is lessthan 20 weeks then, medical termination of pregnancy is legal in India. Legally, only the consent of a major (age morethan 18 years) pregnant woman is needed in terminating the pregnancy and no other person’s consent needs to be obtained.

An ultrasound exam to check the age of the pregnancy and to confirm whether the pregnancy is not outside the uterus (ectopic pregnancy) and also not a tumour that developed in the uterus (molar pregnancy).
