The prevalence of maternal causes
was reported less than 12% in Staraki and colleague’s study,
while it was 20.4% in this study. This can root in the lower
marriage age in Staraki’s study, which is contrary to the major
cities [28-30]. In this study, the highest request for therapeutic
abortion was among women between 25-30 years old and
men between 30-35, while the least was for the age over 40 in
women and below 20 in men. In Nashly et al.’s study, the
pregnant women were between 17-35 years old and fathers
were in the 22-39 age range. In one study, the highest age
range was 30-35 years old and those below 18 were in the
lowest rate. In a study, the women’s age was between 20-29
years [12,21,31]
