Wijziging van Boek 1 van het Burgerlijk Wetboek in verband met het juridisch ouderschap van de vrouwelijke partner van de moeder anders dan door adoptie

Stage otherUpdated 6d ago

This Dutch bill, introduced in the Tweede Kamer (House of Representatives), would amend Book 1 of the Dutch Civil Code, which governs family and personal status. It concerns how the female partner of a birth mother can become a legal parent through a route other than adoption. Based on the title alone, the bill sets out an alternative legal mechanism for establishing parenthood. This summary is based on metadata only, not the full legislative text. The change would mainly affect same-sex female couples who have or plan to have children, along with the children themselves. It would give the non-birth mother legal parental status without requiring an adoption procedure. The exact conditions and procedures should be checked in the bill text.
