Narendra Modi, the cabinet has given its approval to the Surrogacy Amendment Act

The citizenship law has not cooled down yet that the Modi government at the center has now approved another act. In a meeting held today under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the cabinet has given its approval to the Surrogacy Amendment Act. Through this, the surrogacy law has been made more strict. According to this law, widows and divorced women have also been given the right to surrogacy.
In the new rule, the medical cover of surrogate mothers has been increased from 18 to 36 months. The limit of permission for surrogacy after the marriage has also been reduced from 5 years. Indian married couples, married couples of Indian origin living abroad and single Indian women will be able to avail surrogacy under certain conditions. However, in the case of single women, they must be widowed or divorced.
At the same time, Union Minister Smriti Irani also stressed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has promoted liberal ideas in women's reproductive rights. Whether it is an Associated Reproductive Technology Regulation bill or a surrogacy bill. The surrogacy amendment bill could be introduced at the beginning of the second part of the budget session next month
