A 2026 guide to surrogacy laws in Nepal — the 2015 Supreme Court Public Interest Litigation (Sapana Pradhan Malla v. Government of Nepal) and the related Cabinet decision that prohibited commercial surrogacy and surrogacy involving foreign intended parents or foreign surrogates. Covers what is permitted in principle (altruistic surrogacy for Nepali infertile married couples), who is excluded (foreign nationals, same-sex couples, single individuals), the constitutional and statutory backdrop (Constitution Article 38(2), Muluki Civil Code 2074, SMRHR Act 2075), and the gap that the absence of a dedicated Assisted Reproductive Technology Act leaves for parents, surrogates and clinics in Nepal.
