In India are the partners allowed to assist with childbirth or labor?

Question

I am going to India very soon and likely to have my baby there hence the doubt.

Answer 1

what?....you are the one giving birth so if you want your partner there than no matter where you are they will be allowed

Answer 2

No, in india still partners are not allowed inside to assist with labor, Its still a fact. But there are some big hospitals where they have started this whole new thing from western countries. So Good Luck! do a bit of research of which city you are in and hopefully you might get lucky to get your partner to assist you.
