A 24-year-old woman went on trial for swallowing 15 pills which she bought online to abort her fetus, a Sharjah Misdemeanour court heard.
\nShe bought the pills online with the help of her husband, and then consumed them, which resulted in severe bleeding and she was\u00a0transferred\u00a0to Al Qasimi Hospital.
\nThe prosecution\u00a0charged her with\u00a0deliberately\u00a0abortion.
\nOn end of May this year, the husband came to the police station\u00a0with a\u00a0medical report from the hospital that his wife aborted the fetus that was six weeks and four days old.
\nHowever, the couple denied the medical report during\u00a0the investigation\u00a0and claimed that the abortion happened after the woman took a medicine for colic and intestinal infections, which was prescribed by a doctor at a private clinic in Sharjah. The clinic denied having issued such\u00a0prescription.
\nAccording to the husband, the couple went to the clinic on May 17 to confirm the pregnancy. He said that after a few days, she called him, saying she suffered from a minor haemorrhage and went to the clinic.
\nThe doctor at the clinic told her that she was okay but after one day she suffered from severe colic. The doctor at the clinic prescribed\u00a0anti-inflammatory pills\u00a0but the bleeding increased and he took her to Al Qasimi Hospital.
\nThe report revealed that the woman took 15 Misoprostol tablets as she purchased it online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
