Dear client,
A woman can use donor sperm for IVF or IUI as a single woman under Indian law, specifically the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act, 2021. However, since you are legally married and your husband is still living, most clinics will need his approval before beginning such treatment. Declaring yourself to be a "single woman" while the marriage is still in effect is not acceptable since it might be considered deception and lead to further legal issues, particularly with regard to the child's legality and the husband's possible rights or denial of fatherhood. In reality, some clinics might take into account situations where the spouses are living apart provided they have the necessary paperwork or an affidavit, but many reputable clinics absolutely require spousal consent in order to prevent legal issues. Therefore, it would be safer to first establish your position as separated through divorce, judicial separation, or legal notice. After that, you can independently pursue IVF/IUI without the husband's approval and without running the danger of future legal problems.
