Re. N.A N’UNDI

Court
Intermediate Court
Case number
RCA 00161/2020/TGI/NYGE

Gestational surrogacy is permitted under Rwandan law as a form of assisted reproductive technology when agreed by the parties. The child born from such arrangement must be registered under the names of the genetic parents (N.A and M.O), but for the first six months after birth, the child should remain with the surrogate mother (M.G) for breastfeeding, unless medically impossible. The surrogacy agreement is valid and enforceable.

Re. N.A ET AL

Court
Intermediate Court
Case number
RCA 00161/2020/TGI/NYGE

Gestational surrogacy is permitted under Rwandan law as a form of medically assisted reproduction, provided there is mutual consent. The surrogacy contract between the parties is enforceable. The child born through surrogacy must be registered as the child of the genetic parents (N.A and M.O) but should live with the surrogate mother (M.G) for six months to be breastfed, in line with the child's best interests.

Re. N.A ET AL

Court
Intermediate Court
Case number
RCA 00161/2020/TGI/NYGE

Gestational surrogacy is a form of assisted reproductive technology recognized by Rwandan law. The agreement between the parties is valid and enforceable. The child born through this process must be registered under the names of the genetic parents (N.A and M.O) but should remain with the surrogate mother (M.G) for six months post-birth for breastfeeding, unless medically impossible. The lower court erred in restricting the scope of assisted reproduction to exclude surrogacy.
