Kerala HC allows 50-year-old woman to pursue surrogacy

news18.com

The Kerala High Court has ruled that a 50-year-old woman can pursue surrogacy, overturning a previous decision that denied her application. The court stated that the law should prevent exploitation, not restrict access for those with legitimate needs. The ruling allows the woman to fulfill her desire to become a mother, as this is her last chance. The court directed the Kerala State Assisted Reproductive Technology and Surrogacy Board to issue her eligibility certificate within a week. This decision clarifies that the age limit for surrogacy includes women up to 50 years old. It emphasizes the emotional aspect of motherhood and sets a precedent for women's rights in surrogacy cases.
