Eighty percent (80%) of patients with illegal abortion
were illiterate and 20% had primary to secondary
level of education. Najmi RS12 have reported that 79.17%
of patient with illegal abortion were illiterate. Tayyab S
and Samad NJ13 have found that 92% of patients with
illegal abortion were of low educational status.9
our
study is comparable to study of Najmi RS in which most
of the patients inducing abortion illegally were illiterate
because most of them do not know that abortion is
illegal for social reason in Islamic law.
