Children of unregistered unions face denial of basic rights, including education. The state must act.
FO Take · Score 75
The state’s failure to legitimise all unions, regardless of religious or civil status, directly harms children. Denying education based on parental marital status is a barbaric act of administrative cruelty. Every child deserves a birthright to learning, not a life shackled by adult bureaucracy. When will common sense prevail over red tape?
The strongest counter
While the state has a role, personal responsibility for legalising marriages rests with the parents. Their choices have consequences for their children.
