They actually called India a patriarchal society in this article... Amazing.

The woman, 35, last year petitioned a family court in Mumbai for the right to conceive a second child with her estranged husband, either though “conjugal relations” or in-vitro fertilization. According to her lawyer, she is concerned about her ticking biological clock and wants a second child to accompany her first born and support her in old age.

The man filed for divorce in 2017, alleging his wife had treated him with cruelty. Neither of them have been publicly identified.

It's interesting that they did not name the man here.

In her ruling Judge Swati Chauhan ordered the couple to see a marriage counselor on Monday and to meet with an expert on in-vitro fertilization within a month. She acknowledged that the case is “emotionally debatable and gender intricate.”

But he has filed for divorce, for cruelty, why would he want to see a marriage counselor?

However, Chauhan said that the woman’s request for her husband’s sperm is a “legitimate, eugenic choice of hers,” and she “has a right to reproduce and she is entitled to exercise it.”

So married men in India have no right to not father children should their wives insist?

“Not allowing a fertile woman to procreate is like compelling her to sterilize,” Chauhan added. “To curb or curtail reproductive right may have a subtle and devastating demographic outcome.”

She has the same reproductive rights as before, but just not with her soon to be ex-husband.

This is clearly court sponsored spousal abuse. They are allowing a domestic abuser to continue to terrorize a person. If the gender was reversed and a man was requesting the court bring his estranged wife back so he can bang her, it would be considered the ultimate sin.

Nobody is stopping her from opening her legs to a man, just not THAT man.

He should not be forced to use his sperm. This feminist judge needs to be removed.

last time I checked, forcing someone for sex was illegal.

I hope the judge is brought to justice. There isn't a law that supports her judgement.
