“The patronymic of the child does not depend on the national traditions of the Father” – such a statement was made in the court of Nizhnevartovsk after consideration of a complex deal with the participation of a native of Azerbaijan. A man through court tried to fix the patronymic of his daughter and bring him in line with Azerbaijani customs.
As you know, in Azerbaijan, patronymic in children is formed by adding a certain console to the name. For boys, this “ogs”, for girls – “Gyza”. Daughter of the plaintiff born in Nizhnevartovsk, this prefix in the born act was absent. When the Father appealed to the state institution behind the change of patronymic, he was refused. And then the man went to court.
“When contacting the court with the specified requirements, one of the arguments of a citizen N. was that he himself was among the nationality of Azerbaijani, the Azerbaijani traditions are complied with his family, so it is necessary to make changes to the civil status entry, it is necessary to preserve family traditions,” – Talked in the press service of the Nizhnevartovsky Court.
However, the reasons for the fulfillment of his claims were not found. In accordance with the Russian law, such changes in the records of civil status acts must be performed “exclusively in the interests of the child.” Note, the mother of the girl is Russian by nationality – the demands of the spouse also did not support.
Even the Ministry of Justice of Russia was connected to the case. His staff appealed for clarification to colleagues from Azerbaijan. It turned out obligations to change the patronymic in accordance with national customs in the legislation of the republic. As a result, the court fell.
