Where the pregnant person claims that their pregnancy was caused as a result of contraception failure,[1] the pregnant person can seek abortion if:
- the gestation period is between 20 to 24 weeks, AND
- two Registered Medical Practitioners have recommended the abortion.

Where the pregnant person claims that their pregnancy was caused as a result of contraception failure, the MTP Act presumes that it severely affects the mental health of the pregnant person.
