J v C (Void Marriage: Status of Children)
CA
15 May 2006
Daily Law Notes Report Summary
In order to be a parent of a child born through artificial
insemination by a donor (AID) the parent had to be "the other
party" to a marriage with the mother. Where, therefore, the other
party was a woman, there could be no marriage and the other party
could not be the child's parent. In this case the marriage was
declare void because the "husband" was actually female.
