Availing Maternity benefit under section 10 as illness caused due to pregnancy

My wife has been diagnosed with subchorionic heamorrhage after 3 months of pregnancy and been admitted in hospital for 3 weeks. The baby is healthy and pregnancy is ongoing. Will she be able to avail these 3 weeks leave (before availing maternity leave of 26 weeks) as per section of maternity benefit act as illness caused due to pregnancy.

Certainly, dear friend. You have to produce proper medical certificate with your application for the leave u/s 10 of the MBA, 1961.
