The Delhi High Court Friday said the law regulating the procedure of surrogacy is intended to curb the exploitation of surrogates and no one wants India to become an "industry of renting a womb".

The Delhi High Court asked the Centre on Monday to explain the exclusion of single and unmarried women from availing the benefits of the surrogacy procedure under the law.
