Feature: Who is the birth mother of the child?

  There are situations in which two persons are registered as parents of the child, but it is unknown who the mother of the child is.
  When determining authority it is important to know who the mother is, since she normally obtains authority over the child automatically at birth.
  There are situations in which this is not the case; see for example 4a.3 parent deceased or not competent to exercise authority.

  Where a child was acknowledged at birth (acknowledgement of an unborn child), it should be noted that we cannot establish who made the acknowledgement.
  For an acknowledgement after 1-1-2023 this is no problem, because both parents then hold authority. For an acknowledgement before 1-1-2023 it is a problem, because only the birth mother then automatically holds authority.
  There is also the situation in which a child has two mothers, a birth mother and a co-mother.

  To establish who the birth mother is, the gender designation is checked.
  The gender designation makes it possible to distinguish between male and female.
  Which means that in situations where the parents are male and female, it is clear who the birth mother is.

  For the situation with a co-mother, in which both parents are female, the surname of the child can be considered.
  Where the surname of the child matches one of the women (parents), that is the birth mother.

  In the situation where both parents are male, the birth mother cannot be established.

  Recommendation
  Work is under way on recording, by means of an indication, who the birth mother is.
