Minister of Justice wants more legal certainty for children of same -sex couples
Currently, the non-led parent has to adopt the child together in a same-sex marriage. The government's coalition agreement provides for the introduction of an automatic recognition of parenthood. This ensures equal treatment of homo- and heterosexual parents.
Before everyone does not discriminate against everyone
The reform of the right to adoption enables the equal treatment of all family models, said Justice Minister Elisabeth Margue from CSV last Monday in her response to the Parlementaire parlement.
According to the current regulation, the non-ledent parent is forced to initiate an adoption procedure in a joint partnership, since it has neither rights nor duties, according to MP Carole Hartmann and Corinne Cahen from the DP, who had requested an opinion on the right to adapt the right to adapt to the justice and adoption law. The current procedure is not only lengthy and expensive, but also leads to an increased uncertainty for the child in the event of the death of the physical parent.
In her answer, Elisabeth Margue formulates that the automatic recognition of same -sex parents in Luxembourg is still implemented. The CSV politician wants to adapt the fundamental rights of children and families to social developments and improve their legal certainty.
Expansion of the parentage proof at EU level
In her answer, the minister also emphasizes her support for a European pedigree proof of registered partnerships. A public certificate is intended to recognize parenting uniformly in every EU member country regardless of gender.
