'India is surrogacy capital of world'

Hyderabad, Feb 4 (UNI) India is the surrogacy capital of the world, senior Supreme Court advocate Madhavi Divan has claimed.
Speaking at the concluding day of three-day National Women’s Summit, organised by Pragna Bharathi here on Saturday, Ms Madhavi Divan, the woman behind central government's stand in Supreme Court on Triple Talaq, said this in reply to a question on Surrogacy.
"We are a surrogacy capital of the world. We need to regulate. Women's body constantly bears the brunt of carrying the child. Can a womb be hired? For a childless mother or for relationship is okay. But, it has becoming a big industry. Right to Reproduction Autonomy is also a Right," she said.
