Kerala High Court recognises right to include mother's name alone in birth certificate and other documents
A child of an unwed mother or a rape victim is also a citizen of our country, and nobody can infringe any of his/her fundamental rights, the Court held.
In a landmark ruling, the Kerala High Court has held that every person has the right to include his/her mother's name alone in their birth certificate and other documents [XXX & Anr. v Registrar of Births and Deaths & Ors.].
