I'm a lawyer, and I'm involved in reproductive rights work. Assisted reproduction is the Wild West as far as the law is concerned. If any state passed a law requiring married women to get their husband's permission (or even notification), the organizations I'm a member of would raise holy hell.
As it is, this would be interesting grounds for a lawsuit even though this is a matter of private contract. But if the government tried to require this? You'd see it invalidated on civil rights grounds in a heartbeat. No competent adult can be required by law to get a relative's permission to undergo a medical procedure.
