CEDAW/C/44/D/12/2007
The plaintiffs in G.D. and S.F. v. France (C/44/D/12/2007) who were automatically given their fathers{\textquoteright} last names pursuant to a customary law, despite being raised exclusively by their mothers, challenged the law as discriminating between the rights of husband and wife guaranteed under Article 16 of the Convention; the Committee held that the authors had no basis for invoking Article 16, because they themselves were not married and had no children.\&nbsp;
