Surrogacy in India - A Law in the Making by ANIL & RANJIT MALHOTRA, 2nd Edition 2016. Despite the legal, moral and social complexities that shroud surrogacy, there is nothing stopping people from exploring the possiblility of becoming a parent. Women who may choose to `rent` there womb for a a surrogate pregnancy are slowly shaking off their inhibition and fear of social ostracism to bring joy to childless couples. However, India`s Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Bill, 2014, have legal lacunae, lacks the creation of a specialist legal authority for adjudication and determination of legal rights of parties by a judicial verdict, and falls into conflict with existing laws. These pitfalls may be the graveyard of this proposed new law. New Indian medical visa guidelines, 2012 have restricted commissioning of surrogacy arrangements in India to foreign men and women only whose marriage should have sustained for atleast two years. Single parents, gay couples or unmarried partners can no longer commission surrogacy on tourist visas to india and the ART Bill, 2014 restricts surrogacy to infertile marred couples only.
