Erode: Mom, 2 others held for forcing minor, 16, donate embryo

ERODE: Police on Thursday arrested three people, including the mother of a 16-year-old girl for allegedly forcing the minor to donate her embryo for surrogacy.

The arrested - Syed Ali, 40, Indirani alias Sumaiya, 33, and Malathi, 30, of Erode town - have been sent to jail. Erode south police inspector P Vijaya said Indirani had separated from her husband Saravanan when their daughter was three and later married Syed Ali before changing her name to Sumaiya. Sumaiya, who used to donate her embryo at a private fertility centre along with Malathi, "decided to involve her daughter in the act after she attained puberty," the inspector said, adding that "Syed Ali sexually harassed the girl on several occasions."
