Daljinder Kaur gave birth last month to a boy following two years of IVF treatment at a fertility clinic in the northern state of Haryana with her 79-year-old husband, Mohinder Singh Gill. Hitting out at critics, she said she was not too old to become a first-time mother, adding her life was now complete with the arrival of son Armaan.
The baby was conceived using the couple's own egg and sperm and was now 'healthy and hearty' after weighing just 2kg (4.4lb) at birth on April 19, the National Fertility and Test Tube centre said. Mrs Kaur said the couple, who have been married for 46 years, had almost lost hope of ever having a child. She claims they had even faced ridicule in a country where infertility is sometimes seen as a curse from God. She said: 'God heard our prayers. My life feels complete now. I am looking after the baby all by myself, I feel so full of energy.'
