Infertility

'Progressive' The latest court verdict has come in a series of what rights activists have praised as progressive judgments by the Supreme Court.

Last December the court asked the government to scrap a "discriminatory" rule that women must ask permission of family members before selling inherited property.

The court also eased the regulations for women to obtain passports and ruled that women should not suffer discrimination during the menstruation cycle.

The court also asked the government not to recruit underage boys into the security forces.

It said the recruitment contravened the country's constitution and international children's rights treaties that Nepal had signed.
