摘要

2022年4月20日，大孟买法院判处一名产后抑郁症妇女终身监禁，罪名是遗弃和谋杀她的双胞胎女儿(关于马哈拉施特拉邦)。在犯罪发生时，由于没有产后抑郁症的诊断或治疗，精神错乱的抗辩被驳回。本文考虑了印度缺乏围产期心理健康服务如何可能对在杀婴案件中执行刑事司法提出挑战。

Perinatal mental health and the justice delivery system in India.

On 20 April 2022 the Sessions Court of Greater Mumbai sentenced a postpartum depressed woman to lifetime imprisonment for abandoning and murdering her twin girl child (In re: The State of Maharashtra). In the absence of a diagnosis or treatment for postpartum depression at the time when the crime was committed, a plea of insanity was denied. This article considers how the absence of services for perinatal mental health in India may challenge the delivery of criminal justice in cases of infanticide.
