Abstract
The traditional notion of a family involves a group of persons who are linked by blood and affinity, with the adult members responsible for the care of the children. However, the traditional paradigm of a family is fast being eroded, with the discovery of new methods of artificial reproduction and a change in societal mindsets, making other forms of family structures acceptable. Family law however is still based on the traditional notion of a family, and seems unable to adapt to the changing times. This article is an attempt to examine some of the dilemmas that arise due the use of artificial insemination as a method of reproduction, how the law in different jurisdictions has dealt with them so far and why expedient changes are necessary if Indian law is to keep pace with societal transformations.
