Abortion in Brunei
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Abortion in Brunei is only legal when it will save the woman's life.[1] In Brunei, a woman who induces her abortion is subject to up to ten years in prison.[1] The same penalty is applicable to someone who performs an abortion.[1]
In 2014, Brunei's government implemented Sharia criminal law that punishes abortion with flogging and stoning.[2]
