Court Refuses to Accept Lineage of Girls Born from Surrogate Donor; DNA Test Leaves Couple in Predicament.

The news as it trends.

In Kuwait, a couple finds themselves in a predicament after a court refused to accept the lineage of their three daughters born to a surrogate mother.

The couple, who had turned to surrogacy after struggling with infertility, were overjoyed when their daughters were born.

However, their joy was short-lived as the court questioned the legitimacy of their parental rights due to Sharia law.

The couple used artificial insemination, using a reproductive cell from the husband to fertilize the egg of a foreign woman and implant it in the wife’s womb. Unfortunately, when the DNA test results came out, it showed that the children had their father’s genes but not their mother’s, since the fertilized eggs belonged to another foreign woman used as a surrogate for the eggs.

This has led to many controversies, with the husband filing a lawsuit to assert his right and his wife’s right to be the biological parents.

The case has become even more complicated because, in Kuwait, due to Sharia law, “mixing a man’s semen with the eggs of a woman who is not his, even if it results in the creation of a child with surrogacy eggs, is forbidden, even if their mom carries it.”

The outcome of this case, with the father seeking full parental rights, is still ongoing and remains to be seen what the court will finally decide.
