Transcription of illegitimate double maternity - court - General News. Judges in Milan on Tuesday declared illegitimate the transcription of the registration of double maternity for the children of three lesbian couples born abroad through assisted fertility.

The issue has been a hot topic in Italy since March 2023, when the right-centre government of Premier Giorgia Meloni instructed city mayors to stop registering children of same-sex couples using a procedure based on transcription of foreign birth certificates of children conceived via surrogacy.
