Introduction of BNS 91<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

BNS 91<\/strong>, also known as Section 91 BNS<\/strong>, has replaced the Indian Penal Code and introduced updated provisions to protect both mothers and children. Section 91<\/strong> is a crucial part of this framework, as it deals with acts intended to prevent a child from being born alive<\/strong> or to cause the child\u2019s death immediately after birth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This section ensures that such intentional acts are treated as serious crimes, punishable with imprisonment of up to ten years<\/strong> and a fine. At the same time, the law recognizes the importance of saving the mother\u2019s life, and therefore creates an exception when the act is done in good faith to protect the mother<\/strong>. By balancing strict punishment with necessary medical exceptions, Section 91 highlights India\u2019s commitment to safeguarding both the unborn child and the mother\u2019s well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
