From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Abortion in the Solomon Islands is only legal if the abortion will save the mother's life. [1] In Solomon Islands, if an abortion is performed on a woman for any other reason, the violator is subject to a life sentence in prison. [1] A woman who performs a self-induced abortion may also be imprisoned for life. [1]

Any approved abortion requires consent from two physicians as well as the woman's husband or next of kin. [1]
