Abu Dhabi: Women in the UAE no longer need their spouse’s permission for emergency abortions. The new law allows abortion if there is a medical report that the life of the unborn child or the pregnant woman is in danger.
Consent of the pregnant woman is mandatory for abortion. The consent of the pregnant woman’s husband or guardian must be obtained in cases such as mental illness or unconsciousness where consent cannot be given. The law, approved by the government last October, does not specify whether abortions are restricted.

Abortion under the Old Testament was permitted only when the unborn child was clearly too difficult to sustain life and the fetus was less than 120 days old. Abortion is permitted in the UAE only if the pregnancy endangers the life of the mother or the unborn child has abnormal defects that prevent it from leading a fulfilling life.

The new legislation is a continuation of local and federal laws to ensure women’s rights. Other reforms include decriminalizing surrogacy and allowing unmarried women to undergo IVF treatment.
Abu Dhabi’s main maternity hospital, Corniche Hospital, which delivers 7,500 babies a year, has five to six abortions a week. Until recently, it was the only hospital in the emirate that allowed abortions.

Under the new law, licensed private hospitals can also perform abortions. The Chief Medical Officer of Cornish Hospital Dr. Paul Bossio points out. He previously worked in Ireland when abortion was illegal and in the UK where abortion was deregulated from 1967.
Abortion services are a highly controversial area in many parts of the world and in different cultures. But as a gynecologist who has advocated for women’s rights and health, Dr. Paul Bossio says.
He has seen both ends of the law in Ireland and the UK. The new law in the UAE provides a humane approach to babies with life-threatening conditions, while protecting mothers with serious conditions. So I have a lot of respect for the law here – Dr. Bossio commented.
Byron James, partner and head of law firm Expatriate Law in Dubai, pointed out that the new law gives women the right to autonomy over their bodies and unborn children.
