SEXUAL ABUSE, EXPLOITATION IN ALL GENDERS, DEFLORATION; PREGNANCY AND DELIVERY

Pregnancy and Delivery

• Pregnancy is the state of carrying a developing embryo or fetus within a woman's womb. It occurs when a sperm fertilizes an egg, resulting in the formation of a zygote.
• The fertilized egg implants itself in the lining of the uterus, where it begins to grow and develop into a fetus.
• The duration of pregnancy is approximately 38-42 weeks, divided into three trimesters.
• The process of pregnancy is influenced by various factors, including hormonal changes, uterine contractions, and the development of the placenta.

Pregnancy Signs

• Presumptive Signs: Changes in cervical mucus, breast tenderness, and morning sickness are early signs of pregnancy.
• Probable Signs: A missed menstrual period, increased basal body temperature, and a positive home pregnancy test are probable signs of pregnancy.
• Positive Signs: Fetal movement, fetal heartbeat, and ultrasound confirmation are definitive signs of pregnancy.

Virginity and De-floration

• Virginity refers to the state of a person who has not engaged in sexual intercourse.
• De-floration is the loss of virginity, which can occur through consensual or non-consensual sexual intercourse.
• The physical evidence of de-floration includes a rupture in the hymen, which can be caused by various factors, including sex, sports, or medical procedures.

Medicolegal Aspects of Legitimacy

• Legitimacy refers to the recognition of a child's parentage, which can be established through various means, including DNA testing, court orders, and parental acknowledgement.
• The medicolegal aspects of legitimacy involve determining the paternity of a child, which can have significant implications for inheritance, child support, and custody.
• DNA testing is commonly used to establish paternity, as it can provide conclusive evidence of a child's biological parentage.

Superfetation

• Superfetation is a rare phenomenon in which a woman becomes pregnant again while still pregnant with another fetus.
• This can occur when a woman releases an egg after ovulation, which is then fertilized by sperm, resulting in a second pregnancy.
• Superfetation is often associated with assisted reproductive technologies, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Medicolegal Importance of Superfetation

• Superfetation has significant medicolegal implications, particularly in cases of disputed paternity or fetal rights.
• Establishing the legitimacy of a child born through superfetation requires careful consideration of the medical and legal evidence.
• DNA testing and medical records are crucial in determining the paternity of a child born through superfetation.

Superfecundation

• Superfecundation is a phenomenon in which two or more ova are fertilized by sperm from separate acts of intercourse, resulting in multiple pregnancies.
• This can occur when a woman has intercourse with different men within a short period, resulting in the fertilization of multiple eggs.
• Superfecundation is a rare occurrence, but it can have significant medicolegal implications.

Medicolegal Importance of Superfecundation
