Maternity leave is applicable only where a woman avails leave before and after delivery of a pregnancy. In normal circumstances, removal of uterus is not covered under the MBAct.
However, in the very uncommon situation where removal of uterus is necessitated due to a severe crisis immediately following pregnancy, for example, severe post partum bleeding or rupture of uterus, removal of uterus would come under the purview of MBAct. But removal of uterus without any connection to a pregnancy complication will not be covered under the Act.
