Surrogacy in India is a legal arrangement in which a woman (called the surrogate mother) agrees to carry and give birth to a child for another person or couple, known as the intended parents. After the child is born, the surrogate gives up all parental rights, and the child is legally handed over to the intended parents.
Types of Surrogacy
India allows only one type:
1. Altruistic Surrogacy (Legal in India):
- The surrogate mother does not receive any payment except medical expenses and insurance.
- It is done out of compassion or goodwill, usually by a close relative.
2. Commercial Surrogacy (Banned in India):
- Involves paying the surrogate mother beyond medical expenses, often considered exploitative.
Why People Choose Surrogacy
- Infertility or inability to conceive.
- Risky pregnancy or medical conditions.
- Single women (widows/divorcees) who wish to become mothers.
Legal Framework
Surrogacy in India is regulated by the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021, which sets strict eligibility conditions for intended parents and surrogate mothers, aiming to protect all parties involved and prevent commercial exploitation.
