A 54-year-old woman from Nashik has been allowed to pursue surrogacy by Bombay HC. The couple approached the court after their request for surrogacy was denied due to age limitations. The court’s ruling emphasizes a purposive interpretation of the surrogacy law. It aims to protect surrogate mothers and the rights of children born through surrogacy. The couple is considered a ‘composite unit’ for eligibility under the current legal framework.
