Rights Of Surrogates In India

A draft law that aims to make surrogacy 'legal and transparent' in India was today cleared by the cabinet. The Surrogacy Bill, 2016 seeks to protect the rights of both the surrogate and the child. The government has announced that it will take up the Bill in the Winter Session of the parliament later this year.

The union cabinet will take up a draft bill on Wednesday which aims to safeguard the rights of surrogate mothers. The bill will then be introduced in parliament in the winter session, said sources.

There is an urgent need for guidelines for the "unregulated" surrogacy industry in India to protect rights and health of surrogates as well as intended parents from exploitation, says acclaimed British Indian actor and writer Meera Syal whose new novel deals with the subject.
