Why were the surrogacy rules modified in India

Examine the reasons behind the recent changes in surrogacy regulations in the country.
  • The previous surrogacy rules in India were deemed outdated and lacked proper regulations to protect the interests of surrogate mothers as well as intended parents.
  • There were concerns about the exploitation of women acting as surrogate mothers, including issues related to their health and well-being.
  • The government aimed to prevent unethical practices such as commercial surrogacy and trafficking of women for surrogacy purposes.
  • The new regulations were also implemented to make the process more transparent and legally enforceable.
  • By restricting surrogacy to only Indian married couples of Indian origin, the government sought to address concerns about foreigners exploiting Indian surrogacy services.
