Couples must be patient: the National Council postpones the reintroduction of double names for married couples

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 iQNQmc”>

With 116 votes to 70, the Grand Chamber said yes to a proposal by Thomas Aeschi (SVP/ZG). Accordingly, the Legal Commission of the National Council (RK-N) should revise the draft so that double names are introduced only for spouses, but not for children.

The middle-class majority, consisting of SVP, FDP and Center, prevailed. She opposed the major reform of the naming law proposed by the RK-N. According to them, children should now be able to have double names, regardless of whether their parents are married or not.

Like other citizen representatives, Philipp Matthias Bregy (center/US) called for a “sensible liberalization of naming rights.” There is no need for a maximum variant, which would lead to problems. (SDA)
