Hi Viva,

For accurate and up-to-date advice regarding legal matters, it's always best to consult with a qualified professional or refer to the specific laws in your jurisdiction.

In India, the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961 provides certain benefits to women who are pregnant or have recently given birth. According to the Act, if a woman has a miscarriage, she is entitled to six weeks of paid leave immediately following the miscarriage. This period can be extended if a registered medical practitioner certifies that the woman's health requires it.

Please note that the specifics may vary depending on the exact circumstances and local regulations, so it's crucial to consult with a legal expert or refer to the Maternity Benefit Act for precise information.

Thanks.
