Lawyers and gender equality groups have called for law reform after the Federal Court quashed a citizenship bid by a child with a Malaysian father and a foreign mother.
The court narrowly dismissed the 11-year-old boy’s appeal against the government saying that he was “illegitimate” when born. His parents had registered their marriage five months after his birth.
Why do they punish the God gift innocent child if that isn't their mistake? Not at all. If punishment is required, it should be the parents, not God's innocence. They do not choose to be born illegitimate indeed.
Agree; reform laws that bring years of unnecessary anguish to stateless people..
