Court rules in favor of same sex couple

Local | By Correspondent June 10, 2019

WILLEMSTAD - The Registrar Office (Kranshi) is obliged to register a child of a married gay couple in the population register, with parental authority for both. The judge has determined that.

The couple, two women, have a prenatal birth certificate in the Netherlands. And according to the Statute, this is valid throughout the Kingdom. Both women are already registered as married.

In Curaçao law, only a man may recognize a child.
