Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan have welcomed the arrival of their twin babies through surrogacy. The couple had announced the birth of the babies last week. However, there has been rumour floating that the couple has bypassed the Surrogacy Act. A report on hindustantimes.com talked about it and also shared a clarification of the facts regarding their surrogacy. We take reference from that story for our write up here.
According to the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, passed in December last year, a couple should be married for five years and the surrogate should be a married relative with a child of her own. Altruistic surrogacy is for infertile Indian couples with husband between 26 and 55 years of age and wife between 23 and 50 years.
According to a report on Onmanorama.com, the couple has submitted an affidavit as well as a marriage certificate to the Tamil Nadu health department, claiming they got their marriage registered six years ago. They have also claimed that the surrogate is Nayanthara’s relative from the UAE.
