Supreme Court questioning the implications of surrogacy by single women on child legitimacy.
  • Surrogacy by single women raises questions about the child's legitimacy, as the child may not have a legal father figure.
  • The Supreme Court may consider the impact on the child's rights and welfare, including access to paternal lineage and support.
  • Legal frameworks around surrogacy may need to be reviewed to ensure the child's best interests are protected.
  • Clarity may be needed on issues such as inheritance rights, citizenship, and social stigma for children born through surrogacy by single women.
  • Consideration may also be given to the psychological and emotional well-being of the child growing up without a traditional family structure.
