Clarification about the notes to the Civil Registration Law
The reality of mothers' rights to register their newborn's birth certificate
The claim by some media outlets that mothers can register a newborn's birth certificate without the father's presence based on "Article 62 of the Civil Registration Law" is false. A review of the text of the law shows that this article does not exist at all, and according to Article 16, the primary responsibility for registering a birth lies with the father or paternal grandfather, except in exceptional cases such as death, disappearance, or a court order.
