Children take government to court over their parents´ marriage ban
Austrian children with two fathers or two mothers are compulsory illegitimate because their parents are not allowed to marry each other. Five such children, together with their parents, have been taking the federal government to the courts over their parents´marriage ban; to allow their parents to marry and themselves to become legitimate children as their peers with one father and one mother are. Last December the Vienna Administrative Court - based on weird reasoning - dismissed the cases. The families turned to the Constitutional Court whose ruling is expected for later this year.
