The Supreme Court has agreed to review whether prohibiting married couples facing secondary infertility from opting for surrogacy to have a second child violates their fundamental reproductive rights, raising key questions on personal choice and family autonomy in India.
The High Court emphasized the need to address the societal implications of live-in relationships, stating, “It is high time we consider and establish a framework to uphold the moral values of society.” The court highlighted growing concerns over the impact of such relationships on traditional norms. It called for a collective effort to find solutions that balance individual freedoms with cultural ethics.
