More rights for lesbian mothers
Lesbian couples are to be given rights to make it easier for them to become formal parents of each other’s children, justice minister Ernst Hirsch Ballin said on Tuesday.
At present, women have to go to court to be made official parents of their partner’s children. Hirsch Ballin said the interests of the child are paramount in the new legislation.
