Der Europäische Gerichtshof für Menschenrechte sieht in der Regelung bezüglich des Sorgerechts für unverheiratete Väter eine Benachteiligung dieser gegenüber Müttern und verheirateten Vätern.
Zu Recht. Wer will, dass Väter sich mehr in die Kindererziehung einbinden, der kann ihnen nicht durch eine solche Regelung den Weg verbauen und sie vom Willen der Mutter abhängig machen.
Die geltende Regelung ist in § 1626 a BGB enthalten:
Es sah also bisher schlecht aus für den unverheirateten Vater.
Aus der Pressemitteilung des Europäischen Gerichtshofs für Menschenrechte
The applicant, Horst Zaunegger, is a German national who was born in 1964 and lives in Pulheim (Germany). He has a daughter born out of wedlock in 1995, who grew up with both parents until their separation in August 1998 and from that time until January 2001 lived with the applicant. After the child had moved to live with the mother, the parents reached an agreement with the help of the Youth Welfare Office, according to which the applicant would have contact with the child on a regular basis.
Pursuant to the relevant provisions of domestic law, Article 1626a § 2 of the German Civil Code, the mother held sole custody for the child. As she was not willing to agree on a joint custody declaration, the applicant applied for a joint custody order. The Cologne District Court dismissed the application, holding that under German law joint custody for parents of children born out of wedlock could only be obtained through a joint declaration, marriage or a court order, the latter requiring the consent of the other parent. The decision was upheld by the Cologne Court of Appeal in October 2003.
Both courts referred to a leading judgment of the Federal Constitutional Court of 29 January 2003, which had found that the relevant provision of the Civil Code was constitutional with regard to the situation of parents of children born out of wedlock who had separated after 1 July 1998, the date an amended Law on Family Matters entered into force.
On 15 December 2003 the Federal Constitutional Court declined to consider the applicant’s constitutional complaint.
The applicant in particular complained under Article 14 read in conjunction with Article 8 that the application of Article 1626a § 2 of the German Civil Code amounted to unjustified discrimination against unmarried fathers on the grounds of sex and in comparison with divorced fathers.
The application was lodged with the European Court of Human Rights on 15 June 2004.
