Couples over 50 can have ART treatment

The Kerala High Court granted permission to a married couple aged over 50 years to continue their treatment with assisted reproduction technology although under the Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act (ART Act) the upper age limit for men is 55 years and 50 years for women.

The court granted interim relief to the couple and posted the case along with a bunch of petitions that challenge the upper age limit fixed under Section 21(g) of the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act (ART Act).
