The practice of renting a womb has started all over the world just like renting a house. In a word, this womb rental has become a new business medium all over the world which is called ‘surrogacy’.
Surrogacy is no longer uncommon among financially well-off people to maintain a healthy physique and avoid maternal distress. On the other hand, surrogacy is also a way to get the taste of motherhood by overcoming the barrier of infertility.
More than one woman is earning lakhs of money by using this scientific method of motherhood. Nowadays surrogacy has suddenly become very popular all over the world.
Recently, Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra has become a mother in this surrogacy method. She said on social media at midnight on January 23 that she had recently tasted motherhood through surrogacy. Needless to say, this surrogacy has been prevalent in Bollywood for a long time. Before Priyanka, big Bollywood stars like Preity Zinta, Shilpa Shetty, Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan have become parents with the help of this method.
The movie 'Mimi', starring Sanon, which was released in Bollywood last year, shows that in a city in Rajasthan, girls are being made to like things. But why? Because their womb is being rented at a high price as soon as the desired girl is found. The business is usually run by foreign customers and many foreign couples come here just to have children.
Although the whole story of the movie seems to be fictional, recently the story of this movie has matched with the real time.
According to the Times of India, this business is equally popular not only in India but also abroad. At the top of it is the name of Ukraine. Over the past few years, many aspiring parents have moved to Ukraine, where surrogacy rules have already been legalized.
According to the report, thousands of babies are born in this way every year in Ukraine after legalization. This is the main reason why the birth rate is increasing.
All the information that has come to light in this study is eye-popping. It is learned that the number of surrogates has increased so much in several countries like India, Nepal and Ukraine since 2015 that the government has recently failed to provide accurate information in this regard. According to government estimates, between 2,000 and 2,500 babies a year are born in these countries, mainly through surrogacy in Ukraine alone. Most of the women who are used in this work are from very poor families and they rent their wombs mainly to earn money.
On the other hand, out of greed for money, some women agree to become surrogate mothers more than once. It is also causing them physical and mental damage. The houses where they are kept during pregnancy are also not very healthy. As a result, the physical problems of women in all these countries are increasing day by day.
There are also multiple brokers in this business. They basically communicate between the two parties. In this case, the brokers take a part of the money of all the women who rent their wombs.
