The Supreme Court of India, In Baby Manji Yamada versus Union of India & Anr. [2008]
INSC 1656, popularly known as Manji Case, declared that Commercial Surrogacy is legal in India.
As we know that, India is a developing country and here, most of the peoples are very poor and
illiterate. Recently, human trafficking was increase with an uncontrollable rate in the entire world.
In addition, making Commercialization of Surrogacy legal had already give birth to a new form of
trafficking. Where, illiterate women from poor section is trafficked to run the reproductive industry
of the Surrogacy. As we know that the traffickers, they used to trafficked girls/women for
prostitution but now after the legalization of Commercial Surrogacy, they will trafficked
girl/women for the reproductive industry as a raw material. The Immoral Trafficking Prevention
Act (ITPA), 1956 and Sections 366(A) and 372 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 are the existing laws
of India, which deals with human trafficking. However, none of these provisions contains any
solution, to deal with this new serious issue of trafficking of women/girls for the purpose of
Commercial Surrogacy in reproductive industries. These existing laws as well as the pending draft
bill of Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) Regulation Bill, 2010 needs an amendment to
check this crime against women once again to protect the rights and health of the women.
