<![CDATA[Cases of violence against women in Indonesia continue to be in the spotlight, where there has been an increase in cases from the previous year (2020). In 2021, cases of violence against women emerged, namely cases of rape committed against 13 female students. Abortion is often a choice as a way to suppress the psychological trauma experienced by rape victims. The aim of this research is to provide an overview of the act of abortion due to rape from the perspective of Islam and medical bioethics and to provide an overview of the legal policy for abortion due to rape in countries that already have a legal abortion system due to rape, as well as providing an overview of the impact of the policies that have been implemented. The type of research used is empirical juridical by collecting and analyzing, and focusing on Islamic views, bioethical rules and applicable legal norms. The results of this research show that from an Islamic perspective, abortion due to rape is permitted before 40 days of pregnancy and is approved by the authorized team. Meanwhile, from the study of medical bioethics, it can be seen from medical indications, in this case pregnancy due to rape, which can result in mental health disorders by applying the principles of beneficence and non-maleficence, respect for human dignity and human rights, respect for autonomy, and respect for confidentiality and privacy. . The act of abortion due to rape is legally regulated in Indonesia and several countries, however its implementation is still a challenge in providing access to information and providing adequate health services.]]>
