Kathmandu, 2 September: The Supreme Court has issued a mandamus allowing donation of kidney by the father-in-law to the daughter-in-law. Before this, there was no such provision in the country's law related to human organ transplant.
The Sahid Dharma Bhakta Human Organ Transplant Centre, Bhaktapur had, three weeks back, suspended in the last hour the process for kidney transplantation on Geeta Bhandari of Bhadrapur Municipality-10, Jhapa after both her kidneys had failed, citing lack of legal provisions allowing the father-in-law (spouse's younger uncle) to donate kidney to his daughter-in-law (nephew's spouse).
