Maternity leave and children

Should government maternity leave depend on how many children a woman already has?

📍 Tamil Nadu, India

On 19 August 2026 Tamil Nadu announced 365 days of maternity leave for a third child for women government employees, up from 12 weeks. Weeks earlier, on 12 August 2026, the Allahabad High Court ruled that a government employee expecting a fourth child is not entitled to maternity leave.
