Donor Cannot Claim Rights of Biological Mother On Child Born Through “Surrogacy”: Bombay HC

The Bombay High Court recently ruled that an egg donor in a surrogacy arrangement cannot claim parental rights, emphasizing that the 2005 Guidelines apply to surrogacies conducted before the enactment of the Surrogacy Act. The petitioner, the biological mother, was granted interim access and visitation rights to her daughters, with the court warning against emotional harm to the children.
