Mumbai Court Lifts Ban on Surrogacy for Foreigners — In Some Cases
November 5, 2015
(The Wall Street Journal) – A court in Mumbai has temporarily lifted a government prohibition on foreign couples’ using Indian surrogate mothers, clearing the way for two fertility clinics in the city to keep serving clients from abroad, two lawyers involved in the case said. Last week, the Indian Council of Medical Research, instructed clinics not to allow foreigners to employ Indian women as surrogates – part of a government effort to impose tighter limits on a growing industry that has raised concerns about exploitation of women.
