Indian High Courts Deliver Contrasting Rulings on Age Limits in Assisted Reproduction
Two recent High Court rulings in India addressed age limits in assisted reproductive technologies. The Kerala High Court upheld the Surrogacy Act's age restriction, denying a couple's eligibility certificate as the husband exceeded the 55-year limit. Conversely, the Gujarat High Court allowed a couple in their 50s to pursue IVF after the wife crossed the age limit, citing precedents and lack of contrary judgments. Both cases highlight legal interpretations of age criteria under reproductive laws.
