CHENNAI, OCT 17
Days after the arrival of their twin baby boys through surrogacy, Vignesh Shivan and Nayanthara have reportedly submitted an affidavit claiming they got their marriage registered six years ago.
The couple had submitted an affidavit produced amid controversy surrounding the birth of their twins via surrogacy.
The celebrity couple had announced the birth of the babies last week through social media. They had an intimate wedding ceremony in Chennai on June 9 this year, in which leading stars – Shah Rukh Khan, AR Rahman, Suriya and Rajinikanth among others participated.
According to the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, passed in December last year, a couple should be married for five years and the surrogate should be a married relative with a child of her own. Altruistic surrogacy is for infertile Indian couples with husband between 26 and 55 years of age and wife between 23 and 50 years.
A report published on Onmanorama.com claimed that the couple has submitted an affidavit as well as a marriage certificate to the Tamil Nadu health department, claiming they got their marriage registered six years ago. They have also claimed that the surrogate is Nayanthara’s relative from United Arab Emirates.
