"This ruling is significant because it recognizes both mothers in a same-sex couple as parents, thus upholding equality and the child’s right to familial support."
"The court emphasized that denying legal recognition to the second parent undermines constitutional principles and violates a child’s right to care and emotional continuity."
Italy's Constitutional Court has ruled that both mothers in same-sex couples can be legally recognized as parents of children conceived through IVF abroad. This decision, which challenges a 2004 law that restricted such recognition, stems from a case in Lucca and emphasizes the constitutional principles of equality and the child's rights to emotional support. As a result, it addresses inconsistencies in parental recognition across various courts. However, the court maintained that single women still cannot access IVF, raising calls for political action on this issue.
