In a powerful ruling, the Supreme Court of India has declared maternity leave a constitutional right — even for the birth of a third child.

K. Umadevi Vs. State of Tamil Nadu and Ors

2025-Jun-12

This historic verdict came after a Tamil Nadu teacher was denied leave following childbirth from her second marriage. The Court rightly emphasized:

✅ Maternity leave is part of a woman’s reproductive rights
✅ No institution can deny this fundamental right
✅ It’s about dignity, equality, and the right to motherhood
