What is Surrogacy in Delhi?

Surrogacy is the method or process in which a third party i.e. surrogate mother, agrees to carry a child in her womb and go through the pregnancy process for another couple. It is considered helpful for the intended couples to fulfill the dream of their child, which they couldn’t achieve due to their infertility conditions. 

In this case, another couple is called the intended couple. A legal agreement will be made between both parties for easy flow and management of the surrogacy process. It is also done for the intended couples who will have parental rights after the child’s delivery. 

What are the Types of Surrogacy in Delhi?

There are mainly four types of surrogacy. Out of which, commercial type is banned in India. Here, are the:

1. Traditional Surrogacy: In this type of surrogacy, the surrogate mother is inseminated with the intended father’s sperm or donor sperm in the IVF lab. In this, the surrogate mother is the biological mother of the child due to the use of the surrogate mother’s egg. This is less opted surrogacy type nowadays because of legal and emotional complexities.
2. Gestational Surrogacy: In this type of surrogacy, the surrogate mother will provide the service of carrying the pregnancy in her womb and delivering the baby. In this surrogate mother’s egg will not be used. That’s why it is the most favored by the intended couples as they are biologically related to the child.

An embryo is created through IVF(In Vitro Fertilization) by using the intended couple’s egg and sperm. However, if required egg or sperm from the donor can be used. Later on, an embryo is then placed directly into the surrogate mother’s uterus which leads to pregnancy. 

1. Altruistic Surrogacy: In this form of surrogacy, 

The surrogate mother will not be compensated for her service of carrying the child in her womb, the risk of pregnancy, the effort, and her time for the process. 

However, she will be compensated for all the medical bills, pregnancy care & needs, insurance, etc by the intended couple. For this type of surrogacy, she must be a close relative of the intended couple and she must be willingly doing this, not for compensation or monetary purposes.

1. Commercial Surrogacy: This type of surrogacy is completely banned in India now after the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act of 2021. It is because, in this, the surrogate mother was usually getting paid for her service of carrying the baby for the intended couples. It is illegal to practice this now. Hospitals and surrogacy agencies are usually avoiding this type of surrogacy due to further legal allegations and court procedures.
