Re: Abortion and divorce - what advice do you have?
Where are you getting the 40 day limit from…a medical perspective or an Islamic one? If it’s the latter…from what I’ve read, the limit is 120 days because by then the soul has already been blown into the child. For women who are in very, very pressing circumstances and have legit reasons for an abortion…the 40 day limit would be a very, very tight window…esp since some women may not even know they’re pregnant until after 40 days have passed.
OP…let’s say that your friend gives up the baby for adoption. Then sometime in the future she gets married again and feels ready to start a family. When the feelings of motherhood/maternal instincts kick in…she may even feel guilty for giving up her first child. This is something she needs to think about.
