A 72-year-old woman delivered a baby after 46 years of her marriage at a Hisar-based fertility centre in April, making her the oldest woman to bear a first child.
The couple — Mohinder Singh Gill (79) and his wife Daljinder Kaur — were childless and decided to have a baby through in-vitro fertilization (IVF) three years ago.
While this news seems to be an occasion to rejoice, it has now emerged Mohinder Singh Gill decided to have a child in order to secure his father’s inheritance worth Rs 4.8 crores.
According to the Daily Mail, Gill, who is a farmer in Amritsar, admitted they turned to IVF to end a legal battle over his father's inheritance. He said, “My father was trying to deprive me of a share in his property on the plea because I didn't have a child.”
Gill claims his four siblings refused to give him a share in the property because he had no child. Gill says the tussle for inheritance began in his family nearly four decades ago, but his wife failed to conceive a child due to some medical complications during the 1970s and 80s.[...]
