Justice vs Autonomy in Shanti Devi
family clat_ug advanced judgment_takeIn Shanti Devi v. Director of Medical Education, (2021) 1 SCC 141, the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India held that the right to choose a sterilization procedure is a part of reproductive autonomy under Article 21 of the Constitution. I agree with this judgment. The court correctly recognized that a woman's reproductive choices are essential to her dignity and self-worth. By protecting her right to choose between VASectomy or tubectomy, the court ensured that a woman's reproductive freedom is respected. This judgment has far-reaching implications for other reproductive rights, such as access to safe abortion. It's a big shift towards recognizing women's bodily autonomy, na?
