Abstract

 Surrogacy refers to a contract in which a woman carries a pregnancy “for” another couple. In this article, situations are discussed when surrogacy is resorted. Criteria for selection of surrogate mother are highlighted. Although surrogacy arrangement appears to be beneficial for all parties concerned, there are certain delicate issues which need to be addressed in order to protect the rights of the surrogate mother and the intended parents. With the advent of ART, Surrogacy has emerged as a significant social problem, posing legal, ethical, social, and psychological dilemmas.
