Technical reading of law can’t defeat reproductive rights: Delhi high court
The Delhi high court ruled that a technical reading of the law cannot undermine reproductive rights, allowing a couple to transfer their cryopreserved embryos for IVF despite the woman exceeding the age limit. The court emphasized that the Assisted Reproductive Technology Act aims to ensure ethical practices rather than create barriers to parenthood. The couple's request was supported by their medical evaluations, which showed no immediate risks associated with the embryo transfer.
