Law needed......!!!

Surrogacy..............?
An increasing number of women in India serve as surrogate mothers. It has engaged the minds of the legislators to incorporate a regulatory mechanism in its application. One aspect of surrogate motherhood is that of legal implications. There are a few instances in which the lure of extracting heavy financial benefits, in addition to the ones already agreed upon, have prompted unscrupulous biological mothers to lodge a claim for legal custody of the child. In many such cases abroad, a number of rulings have gone in favour of the natural mothers, much to the chagrin of the childless couples. Can the "liberated" Indian woman be an exception to "revolutionary" trend prevalent in Western countries?
