An Israeli court ruled that two women can both be registered as the genetic mothers of a child born through the ROPA method, in which one partner donates the egg and the other carries the pregnancy. The court also ordered the state to pay legal costs after it refused to register both as mothers.
In a landmark ruling for the lesbian community in Israel, a court recognized two women as the genetic mothers of a single child. The women underwent the ROPA (Reception of Oocytes from Partner) procedure, in which one partner donates the egg and the other carries the pregnancy. The court also ordered the state to pay legal costs after authorities refused to register both women as mothers, effectively legitimizing the process. The case sets a precedent for same-sex couples seeking parental recognition through assisted reproductive technology in Israel.
