← 🇧🇪 Chambre des représentants/PROPOSITION DE LOIbe-56-1080

Proposition de loi modifiant l'ancien Code civil en ce qui concerne la reconnaissance d'un enfant né sans vie.

Stage en_commissionUpdated 3mo ago

This is a private member's bill in the Belgian Chamber of Representatives that would amend the former Civil Code to change how a child born without life (stillborn) is recognised legally. Based on the title alone, it concerns the civil status rules that govern registration and recognition of such children, a sensitive area touching on family law, grief, and parental rights. Parents who experience a stillbirth, and civil registry officers who handle these cases, would be most directly affected. The full text would show exactly which rules change and whether recognition or registration requirements are altered.
