Indian High Courts Uphold Age Limits for Surrogacy and IVF Procedures
The Delhi High Court and Punjab and Haryana High Court have upheld statutory age limits for surrogacy and assisted reproductive technology, rejecting petitions seeking exemptions after women crossed the prescribed age of 50. Courts emphasized adherence to the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021, and the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act, 2021, noting that age limits apply individually to spouses. Despite arguments citing frozen embryos and prior eligibility, petitions were dismissed, affirming legal age restrictions.
