Do I need my partner’s or husband’s permission to get an abortion?

You do not need to get your husband’s or partner’s consent to get an abortion under the law if you are above the age of 18. Some hospitals and clinics may insist on obtaining your husband’s permission, but this is not required by the law. However, if you are a minor (below the age of 18) you will need the permission of a guardian which may be a parent, some other relative, etc.
