Hello Sreegoutham,

Abortion is not legal in Mauritius (except in some proven cases such as foetal impairment, rape, mental health issues). In your particular situation it would be illegal in Mauritius.

Hi,

The line between what is considered legal or illegal regarding abortion in Mauritius is very blurry.
Theoretically, abortion is only allowed under specific circumstances but are routinely performed on a larger scale in private practices or clinics.
