Problem

Discrimination against unmarried fathers

Other Names:
Active prejudice towards separated fathers
Prejudicial treatment of single men with children
Nature:

The legal status of unmarried parents in certain countries is inferior to that of married parents, and their children's rights are therefore restricted. Lack of child-care facilities may make it difficult for unmarried fathers to earn an adequate living, and in certain countries the legal status of unmarried parents is weighted in favour of women.
