The Civil Registration (Amendment) Bill, 2014 was published within the past few days and if it is ultimately passed, it will mean that the father’s name, even an unmarried father’s name, must appear on every child’s birth certificate.
It is however extraordinarily disappointing that there is still no progress being made on the right of every unmarried father to automatically be their son or daughter’s guardian. It is quite extraordinary that this continues to be an issue our government refuse to deal with.
Having said that, I suppose you can argue that slow progress is better than no progress.
