India may have got its first child 'without father'

印度出现首位无父儿童

CHENNAI: Tavishi Perara may be India's first 'child without a father', or that's how her birth certificate will read, thanks to Madras high court's direction to authorities to keep the column blank.

金奈：塔维实佩拉拉可能是印度首位“没有父亲的孩子”，因马德拉斯高等法院授意相关部门在父亲一栏中留空，她的出生证明上看不到父亲信息。

The relief, however, did not come easy for the child's mother, Mathumitha Ramesh, who had to wage two rounds of litigation to ensure her daughter got a birth certificate without the father's name.

然而，对孩子的母亲玛图米塔·拉梅什来说，这个结果来的并不容易，她不得不历经两轮诉讼来使女儿在没有父亲姓名的情况下获得出生证明。

Mathumitha was separated from her husband Charan Raj by mutual consent, and Tavishi was born in April 2017 through intrauterine fertility treatment with the help of a semen donor.

经双方协议一致，玛图米塔与丈夫查兰拉吉分局，而塔维实是玛图米塔通过某位精子捐献者的帮助，经由宫内受孕治疗的方式于2017年4月生产的。

The Trichy Corporation commissioner, however, issued a certificate showing one Manish Madanpal Meena as the child's 'father', as he had helped Mathumitha during her treatment. When she approached authorities seeking removal of Meena's name, it was rejected on the ground that errors in a name could only be rectified, while removal was not possible.

特里奇公司的专员颁发了一份证书，证书内显示了某位名为马尼什马丹帕尔米纳的男子是孩子的“父亲”，因为他在玛图米塔的治疗过程中帮助了她。当她向相关部门申请要求移除米纳的名字时，玛图米塔被拒绝了，原因是名字错误只能被纠正，而不可能被删除。

Assailing the September 4, 2017 order, Mathumitha moved the HC, which directed revenue officials to rectify the certificate. But her application to the revenue divisional officer was rejected again on the ground that it was the registrar of births and deaths which was the competent authority to settle the issue. Mathumitha approached the court again, where her counsel argued that Meena's name had "erroneously crept" into the certificate.

因对2017年9月4日的判决不满，玛图米塔向高院上诉，高院命税务官修改证书。但是她向分区税务官提交的申请再次遭到拒绝，原因是应由出生和死亡登记员负责处理此事。玛图米塔再次来到法庭，她的律师认为米纳的名字写进证书是“不正确的”。

Interestingly, both Meena and Mathumitha's estranged husband Charan Raj filed separate affidavits stating that neither of them was the child's father.

有趣的是，米纳和与玛图米塔分居的丈夫查兰拉吉也分别提供了各自的证词，称他们两人都不是孩子的父亲。

Justice M S Ramesh granted Mathumitha's demand after it was clear that she had become pregnant through intrauterine fertility treatment with donated semen.

M·S·拉梅什法官同意了玛图米塔的要求，因为很明显，她是通过捐赠的精液进行宫内受孕治疗才怀孕的。

Narrating these facts and directing the chief health officer of Trichy corporation to remove Meena’s name from the father’s name column, which would now be left blank, justice Ramesh restrained the official from demanding name of the father for the purpose of filling the column.

拉梅什法官陈述了事实并指示特里奇公司的首席医疗官将米纳的名字从父亲一栏中删除。

“I have made these observations consciously in order to restrain the chief health officer from insisting on any other name in the birth certificate on the father’s name column,” the judge said, and posted the case to June 11 for compliance of the order.

法官说：“我是有意提出这些要求的，是为了阻止首席医疗官在出生证明上父亲一栏坚持填写姓名。”并将案件指定在6月11日前完成，以使该判决生效。

Don''t post her name in Media. Don''t you stupid people have any responsibility? Make her name anonymous, or "X" or use a changed name.

别在媒体中公布她的名字。你们这些愚蠢的人难道没有一点责任吗？应该把她的名字隐去，用X代替，或者换一个化名。

Why it is necessary to fill the father''s name when he is not there to support the woman or the child. This should depend on the applicant whether she wants the name to be filled up or left blank.

如果父亲不能抚养妈妈和孩子，为什么一定要填写父亲的名字?这应该让申请人决定是否把名字填上或者留空。
