The girl was repeatedly raped by her uncle over several months.

The crime came to light when the girl was taken to hospital complaining of stomachache in July, and was found to be over 20 weeks into the pregnancy..

Her uncle was arrested shortly afterwards.

Indian law prohibits medical termination of pregnancies after 20 weeks except when the mother’s life is at risk.

Lawyers had approached the Supreme Court on behalf of her parents but the judges refused their plea< to allow an exception.
