They argue that even though they have medical certificates showing they are fit to carry a pregnancy, they were still denied the chance to become mothers through ART. Their lawyer, Advocate Kalyani Tulankar, relied on certificates from a gynecologist confirming their medical fitness.<\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial,sans-serif\"><strong>Court on Age Condition:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial,sans-serif\">The Court said in its order: <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial,sans-serif\">&ldquo;We are informed by the learned Advocate for the Petitioners that the State Government has introduced a condition in the Assisted Reproductive Technology Act, 2021, that a male sperm donor, is permitted to donate upto a maximum of 55 years of his age, and a woman, who is to accept the sperm donated and nurture the foetus in her womb, can be a recipient upto a maximum of 50 years of her age.&rdquo;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial,sans-serif\"><strong>Lack of Scientific Proof:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial,sans-serif\">The judges also raised concerns about the lack of scientific evidence in the petitions.
