Is it permissible for a girl to abort her pregnancy resulting from her maternal uncle's assault on her, then elope with the young man she loves to marry him thereafter, knowing that her family rejects their marriage?

Abortion is not permissible in Islamic law after forty days of pregnancy. Pregnancy resulting from adultery or rape does not justify abortion, regardless of the psychological and social difficulties. As for her fiancé, it is not permissible for her to marry him until she delivers her child, and with the permission of her guardian. If the guardian refuses to marry her to a suitable man, she may refer the matter to a judge or whoever acts in his stead.
