Abortion in Bahrain is legal upon request, upon authorization by a panel of physicians.[1] By the Penal Code of 1976, abortion is only illegal in Bahrain when it is self-induced which subjects the pregnant woman to up to six months in prison, or when it is performed without the woman's consent, which merits up to ten years' imprisonment.[1]
The United Nations reported an abortion rate of 11.1 abortions per 1000 women aged 15–44 as of 2002[update].[2]
