On Monday, Tamil Nadu Health Minister Ma Subramanian said the state government will be looking into it. Speaking at a press conference, he said that the state government will conduct an inquiry. “The surrogacy itself is subjected to a lot of debates. But, the law allows individuals to involve in surrogacy if they are above 21 years and below 36 years of age, with the approval of the family," said the minister, as quoted by The Indian Express.
For the unversed, commercial surrogacy is banned in India. However, the criterion for surrogacy in India is that the surrogate should be married at least once and should have their own child. Earlier this year, a regulation bill was made effective that mentioned only altruistic surrogacy will be allowed wherein, apart from the medical expenses and the insurance cover of the surrogate, the parents will not bear any other expenses.
Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan tied the knot on June 9 this year.
