Abortion in Qatar
Abortion in Qatar
Abortion in Qatar (pronunciation: /əˈbɔːrʃən ɪn ˈkætɑːr/) refers to the termination of a pregnancy in the country of Qatar. The term is derived from the Latin word 'abortio', which means 'to miscarry'.
Legality and Regulations
In Qatar, abortion is generally illegal and is only permitted when the mother's life is in danger or if the fetus has a severe abnormality. The decision must be approved by a medical panel and the husband if the woman is married. The law is based on Islamic law, which traditionally prohibits abortion but allows for exceptions to save the life of the mother.
Cultural and Social Aspects
The cultural and social aspects of abortion in Qatar are heavily influenced by the country's Islamic culture. The majority of Qatari society views abortion as morally and religiously wrong, except in certain circumstances where it is deemed necessary to save the life of the mother.
