In Morocco, abortion is legal (for up to 6 weeks of pregnancy) under certain circumstances, which include: if the woman's life is endangered by the pregnancy, if the woman's physical or mental health is endangered by the pregnancy, and if the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest. In all other circumstances, such as risk of fetal impairment, social/economic reasons or upon request, are not permitted. If the woman's life is endangered by the pregnancy, spousal consent is not required. In all other cases, the spouse must generally approve of the abortion. If the husband refuses or cannot give consent, the physician is required to obtain the authorization of the chief medical officer of the province. This authorization will be a written notification, which will say that the intervention is the only way of safeguarding the health of the woman.<ref>[http://www.un.org/esa/population/publications/abortion/profiles.htm UN Profile - Abortion in Morocco]</ref> | In Morocco, abortion is legal (for up to 6 weeks of pregnancy) under certain circumstances, which include: if the woman's life is endangered by the pregnancy, if the woman's physical or mental health is endangered by the pregnancy, and if the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest.
