The State Government has been ordered by the Kerala High Court to establish a State Level Multidisciplinary Committee made up of professionals to review requests for performing sex-selective procedures on intersex infants.
A pediatrician/pediatric endocrinologist, a paediatric surgeon, and a child psychiatrist/child psychologist will make up the Committee.
The Government was also urged by the Single Judge Bench of Justice V.G. Arun to issue a rule governing sex-selective procedures on babies and children within three months. The parents of a 7-year-old boy who was born with ambiguous genitalia asked the court in this case for permission to have genital reconstructive surgery so they could raise the boy as a female.
