Just giving kids dad's name sign of inequality says court

(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 31 - Naming children exclusively after their fathers is a sign of inequality among parents, the Constitutional Court said Tuesday in explaining its April 27 sentence scrubbing the automatic naming after the father and allowing the mother's surname or a double surname to be used.
    It said the practice of giving children their father's surname "is translated into the invisibility of the mother" and is a sign of inequality that "reverberates onto and impacts the identity of the child". (ANSA).
