Section 315 IPC states that causing the death of a living child in the womb does not amount to culpable homicide. However, if any part of the child has been brought forth (even if the child has not breathed), causing its death CAN amount to culpable homicide. The legal line is drawn at the moment any part emerges from the womb.

  1. 1 Pick up IPC.
  2. 2 Go to Section 315.
  3. 3 Read: 'It is not homicide to cause the death of a living child in the mother's womb.' But note: if part of the body is out, different rules apply.
