Can a Husband's Disagreement Prevent His Wife from Acting as a Surrogate for Humanitarian Purposes?

View Post in Vietnamese: >> Chồng không đồng ý vợ có thể mang thai hộ vì mục đích nhân đạo không?

I have a cousin who has been married for many years but does not have children. It is known that due to her health conditions, she is unsuitable for pregnancy. She intends to ask me to be her surrogate. However, my husband does not agree to this. May I inquire, without my husband's consent, do I have the right to decide on my own? I look forward to your response. Thank you.

According to Point d, Clause 3, Article 95 of the 2014 Law on Marriage and Family, one of the mandatory conditions for the person authorized to have a surrogate pregnancy is:

...

- In the case that a woman who is carrying a surrogate pregnancy has a husband, there must be written consent from the husband.

Thus, according to the regulation, if a woman carrying a surrogate pregnancy has a husband, there must be written consent from the husband. If your husband does not agree, you are not allowed to unilaterally decide to have a surrogate pregnancy for humanitarian purposes.

Sincerely!
