婚生子女可随“第三姓”立场之反思

Rethink the Rights for Legitimate Children to Acquire the Third Surname

在确定姓氏时,父母原则上不应享有为婚生子女选择"第三姓"的权利。其理由是:到了一定的历史时期,古今中外的立法或习惯均要求姓氏世代相传;姓氏也可以用来区分血缘关系;姓"第三姓"不一定能避免重名;姓联姓才是解决纠纷的良策;对生僻姓、歧义姓、贬义姓,立法可以特殊处理。现行《婚姻法》第22条应修改为:父母可以给子女提供父姓、母姓、联姓。

When parents choose the surname for their legitimate children, they should not have the rights to choose the third surname in principle. The reasons include the following： Legislation or practice at any times or any countries requires that children acquire father＇s surname or mother＇s surname, and surname may be used to distinguish kindred; acquiring the third surname can not necessarily avoid the same name, and double surname is the best policy to solve the dispute; special policy may be used to the rare surnames, or the ambiguous surnames and derogatory surname. Article 22 of Marriage Law in practice should be amended as the following： parents may give the children their father＇s surname or mother＇s surname or the double surname.
