The majority of MPs have voted for a law to give automatic parental rights to partners who are unmarried or in a registered partnership. At the moment, some fathers have found that they don’t have any legal parental status if the mother dies. This new law will make sure that both parents have parental authority-as long as both recognize the child.
Approximately 75,000 children are born out of wedlock every year. This new law will attempt to give unmarried couples equal parenting rights. Both of the parents will share the authority for the children-instead of one.
If this bill passes, it will be a win for men’s rights and father’s rights groups-who have been pushing for shared parenting for a long time. Good job by the Dutch government proposing to help parents get the ability to be in their child’s life. As well as saving children from future trauma. Hopefully they follow through with this bill.
