A court in Beijing has ruled against an unmarried Chinese woman's right to freeze her eggs, concluding a six-year legal battle that has garnered national attention. The Beijing Third Intermediate People’s Court upheld the ruling on Tuesday, stating that a hospital did not violate the woman's rights when it denied her access to egg freezing services.
The woman, who is 36 years old and identified as Teresa Xu, announced the court's decision during a livestream on Wednesday. Xu had initially sought egg freezing services at a hospital when she was 30 years old in 2018. However, she was informed that she could not undergo the procedure because she was not married.
