Abstract

This blog, titled “Indian Surrogacy Law: Who Is a Parent and Who Isn’t,” examines the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021 and its limited recognition of intending parents. It focuses on the exclusion of unmarried women, live-in partners, and queer persons, analysing these restrictions through constitutional rights to equality, non-discrimination, privacy, and reproductive autonomy. The blog considers the Act’s limited inclusion of widows and divorcees, judicial developments, its benefits and shortcomings, and concludes by highlighting the need for a more inclusive framework.
