(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 31 - Naming children exclusively after
their fathers is a sign of inequality among parents, the
Constitutional Court said Tuesday in explaining its April 27
sentence scrubbing the automatic naming after the father and
allowing the mother's surname or a double surname to be used.
It said the practice of giving children their father's surname
"is translated into the invisibility of the mother" and is a
sign of inequality that "reverberates onto and impacts the
identity of the child". (ANSA).
