Many couples facing fertility difficulties may consider surrogacy as an option. However, in Malaysia, surrogacy remains a legal grey area.

In simple terms, surrogacy refers to an arrangement where another person carries and gives birth to a child on behalf of the intended parents. It generally falls into two categories: traditional surrogacy (where the surrogate is genetically related to the child) and gestational surrogacy (where the surrogate has no genetic relationship with the child). However, Malaysia currently does not have any specific law that expressly recognises or regulates surrogacy.
