In January, a 32-year-old woman approached a Mumbai sessions court with a request that doesn’t usually involve courts: Permission to undergo in vitro fertilisation (IVF). She cited family pressure to bear a child despite being behind the bars for nearly six years.
The woman, former prison guard at Byculla women’s jail, and five others are facing trial in connection with the custodial death of an inmate in the jail on June 23, 2017.
She sought permission to undergo IVF treatment while awaiting the conclusion of her trial. On June 17, the court rejected her application, saying her plea was not sustainable because she was in jail.
