El certificado de nacimiento no otorga la maternidad automática en casos de vientres alquilados, define la Corte

On September 9, the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) ruled that a birth certificate does not automatically establish maternity in cases of gestational surrogacy. The court determined that the legal recognition of motherhood in these arrangements requires further judicial or administrative validation beyond the initial registration document.

This ruling addresses the complexities surrounding legal parentage in surrogacy agreements. By clarifying that birth certificates are not definitive proof of maternity in these specific contexts, the court has established a new precedent for how parental rights are attributed when a child is born through a surrogate.
