US EditionItaly’s court says 2 mothers can register as parents on birth certificates
- On Thursday, Italy’s Constitutional Court affirmed that non-biological mothers in same-sex relationships who have children via IVF are entitled to be listed on their children’s birth certificates.
- The court decided this after noting that refusing recognition violates constitutional articles and fails to guarantee the best interests of children with non-biological mothers.
- This ruling follows disputes over birth registrations amid Italy’s extended surrogacy ban, which particularly affects gay fathers and has fueled civil rights concerns since Meloni took office in 2022.

- Opposition parties hailed the ruling as a major political defeat for Meloni’s hard-right coalition and urged legislators to protect all children with same-sex parents moving forward.
