In Lebanon, abortion is generally illegal, as stated in the Penal Code. It is only permitted when the woman's life is endangered by the pregnancy. This means that for all reasons, including to preserve physical health, to preserve mental health, rape or incest, fetal impairment, economic or social reasons, or availability on request, are not permitted.  
Au Liban, l'avortement est généralement interdit, comme indiqué dans le Code Pénal. Il est uniquement autorisé quand la grossesse met la vie de la mère en danger. Cela signifie que pour toutes les raisons, notamment la préservation de la santé physique et psychologique, le viol ou l'inceste, une malformation fœtale, des raisons sociales ou économiques, ou la simple demande, ne sont pas autorisées.  


Prosecution of abortion laws is under the jurisdiction of the religious courts. If a woman induces an abortion or consents to anyone performing an abortion her, that woman is subject to six months to three years of imprisonment. The person who performs the abortion (with the consent of the woman) is subject to one to three years of imprisonment. If the woman dies during the abortion, the person performing the abortion is subject to four to seven years in prison. If the woman does not consent to the abortion, the person who performed the abortion is subject to five years of forced labor -- and, if the woman died during the abortion (and did not consent), the person who performed the abortion is subject to at least 10 years of forced labor. If someone performed an abortion to "save the honor" of a descendent or relative to the second degree, or if a woman induced her own abortion to preserve her honor, there will generally be a reduced penalty. However, health care personnel typically receive more stringent penalties, and their licenses will be revoked while their businesses may be closed down.<ref>[http://www.un.org/esa/population/publications/abortion/profiles.htm UN Report: Abortion Laws, Lebanon]</ref>
