What does the bill do?
The bill addresses cases in which a child or spouse was murdered by a family member. Currently, the murder victim's surname remains the surname of the murderer. The bill allows: (1) in the case of a murdered child, changing their name in the ID card of the other parent to that parent's surname; (2) in the case of a murdered spouse, restoring their name in their parents' ID cards to their previous surname before marriage. The minister will set rules for implementing the amendment in consultation with the Minister of Justice.
