ABOUT REAL INEQUALITIES IN THE EXERCISE OF PARENTAL RIGHTS AND DUTIES TOWARDS THE CHILD

Abstract

In judicial practice, the issue of real inequality between parents in terms of the exercise of their rights and duties over the child has been raised, causing much discussion in this regard. In this context, we show in this article that the principle of equality does not prohibit certain specific rules. Therefore, we stress that real inequality results from these specific rules, and to the extent that equality is not natural, imposing it would be tantamount to discrimination. Moreover, we point out that in judicial practice it has been decided that respect for the principle of equality of rights does not mean that the legal rule reflects the full uniformity of social situations, but that, on the contrary, the diversity of social situations can be proportionately adjusted to bring them to a common denominator.
