Woman given sperm of another person instead of husband in IVF

Delhi | The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) has imposed a fine of Rs 1.5 crore on a private hospital in Delhi and the doctors concerned for malpractices related to reproductive procedures. Doctors had used the sperm of someone other than her husband to help the woman conceive. The Commission was hearing a complaint by the couple, according to which the wife had taken ART in June 2009. Gave birth to twins through the process.
Because the babies’ blood groups were not consistent with possible genetic transmission of blood groups from parent to child, a subsequent paternity test or DNA profiling revealed that the woman’s husband was not the biological father of her twins. The couple had approached the commission claiming compensation of Rs 2 crore for negligence and deficiency in service.
