Frozen sperm way out for Nepali couples living apart

As the exodus of male youths has given rise to infertility issues, some couples are banking sperm to conceive.

When news spread through the village that a woman in her mid-30s was pregnant, so did rumours. Her husband, who is in his early 40s, had been abroad for work for over 18 months. Little would the rumour-mongers know that the woman was pregnant with the sperm of her own husband, who had reserved his semen at a sperm bank before he left for work.
