Yamunanagar, Jul 29 (PTI) A 11-year-old rape survivor gave birth to a baby girl at the District Civil Hospital in Yamunanagar, Haryana, on Wednesday, officials said.
According to the hospital administration, it was a normal delivery, and both the mother and the baby are in stable condition.
Dr Jatinder Singh, the Chief Medical Officer of Yamunanagar, told PTI that they can expect to be discharged from the hospital within two to three days.

A police official mentioned that the girl’s family has consented to hand over the newborn to the Child Welfare Committee.
The pregnancy of the minor was revealed in May when she became ill and complained of stomach pain at school. Her family took her to a hospital, where doctors confirmed that she was seven months pregnant. Following this, her family filed a complaint with the Chhachhrauli police station.
