I am looking to refer an able Criminal lawyer for the below mentioned situation.
Huband and Wife married and living in Bowenpally, Hyderabad. Wife becomes pregnent within first year of their marriage. Wife wants to go to USA to pursue career. Husband is earning good salary and supporting wife.
Wife insists to abort the baby to go to USA. Husband tells wife that there is no reason to abort the child as he will support her career goals after the baby is born and promises that if he has to leave his good paying India job, he will quit his job in India and support her plans to go to USA but not to abort the baby.
One fine day, Wife without anyones knowledge kills the baby and gets abortion done. Husband is shocked and in grief. Wife threatens that if husband does not co-operate with her on anything, then she will kill other babies and he will never become a father.
Questions:
1. Is killing a unborn child a crime when the initiative is taken by the mother and executed by the mother ?
2. What is the statute of limitation on the above crime ?
