Javed Akhtar wrote on Twitter, ‘A judge of the Gujarat High Court has given knowledge to a rape victim below the age of 17 years that according to Manusmriti it is right that a girl becomes a mother at the age of 17 years.

The judge also said, ‘If this happens, who will take care of the child? Can any court allow the killing of a child if it is born alive.’ The judge asked the counsel that the court intended to consult the officer of the Social Welfare Department as well. He said, ‘You too start skiing for adoption.’ The judge told the lawyer that abortion cannot be allowed if the condition of the child and the mother is good. In this case the child has been found to be 1.27 kg.
