Kerala High Court lets couple continue IVF as treatment began before age bar

The Kerala High Court has granted permission for a 50-year-old woman and her 55-year-old husband to continue their assisted reproductive technology (ART) services, despite the statutory age limit. The court ruled that since the couple had already started IVF treatment in 2013 when they were within the permissible age, they should be allowed to proceed.

To do so, the couple must provide a notarised undertaking accepting all risks, consequences, and liabilities associated with the procedure. The court based its decision on a similar ruling by the Punjab and Haryana High Court, which allowed a similar case after the petitioners agreed to bear the risks involved.
