Abstract

The present paper pursues a two-fold goal. On the one hand, it intends to clarify the content of the prohibition of torturing and sentencing pregnant women; on the other hand, it will explore whether the legal interest safeguarded by the norm at hand was solely that of the father, having particular regard to his interest of not being deprived of a legitimate progeny.
