Abstract

The paper deals with the legal consequences of pregnancy and delivery in minors the practicing obstetricians/ gynecologists face when working with this challenging category of patients. It describes the key elements of the Russian Federation’s legislation in relation to the issues of termination of pregnancy, a follow-up during pregnancy, delivery, and typical situations occurring postpartum (child abandonment at maternity hospital, adoption, deprivation of parental rights) while working with under-aged women.
