A 10-year-old rape victim has given birth to a daughter after she was denied an abortion.
The Indian girl had allegedly been raped by her uncle.
The pregnancy was discovered when the girl complained to her parents of stomach pains.
But a court denied her a termination because it said the pregnancy was too far advanced.
The girl was reportedly never told she was pregnant, and does not know the baby has been delivered.
She gave birth by caesarean section in Chandigarh on Thursday morning, and the baby weighed 5.5lb, the BBC reported.
A 1970s law bars abortions in India after 20 weeks, although courts have made exceptions when the foetus could not survive or if the mother's life was at risk.
Medical experts say carrying and delivering a baby at age 15 or younger can come with life-threatening complications, including anaemia, high blood pressure and haemorrhaging.
