Nepal legalised abortion in March 2002, under the 11th Amendment to the Civil Code. The legal services were successfully implemented on December 25, 2003.[1] The high maternal mortality rates in Nepal led to the government legalising it. More than 500,000 women sought abortion between 2004 and 2014.[2] In 2014, 323,100 women in Nepal had the abortion; among this, only 42% of abortions were legal and 19% were treated for abortion complications. Similar study had found the rate of unintended pregnancy as 50%.[3][4]
