It warned that “society has not consulted on this issue and you can not legislate people’s backs. This is what is being done with the project. ”
Then it was the turn of the Civil Chamber Judge Maurice Mizrahi, who told the Senate expected to “not approve” the project because, he said, “creates the procreation of children mutilated in the middle of his ancestry, a child raised in a marriage homosexual is not going to have a mother or father will not have. ”
For its part, the holder of the Association of Lawyers for Justice and Harmony, Alberto Solanet, said that if the initiative passes on 14 July, what is it “will be anything but not marriage.”
“The common good depends on the families formed by marriage. With the approval of this project avoids discrimination, but the reality is torture and there will be a break in the heart of Argentina society, “concluded Solanet.
For his part, Francisco Roggeri, representing the Bar of the City of Buenos Aires, said that some studies indicate that “homosexual couples are unstable,” and question the senators: “I beg to ask, if they had an accident if they give their children to a homosexual couple. ”
In the afternoon there was more extensive exposure, which was conducted by Federal Judge Graciela Medina. She said that she agreed with the marriage between same sex but not the letter of the project, which he described as an “improvisation legislature.”
“To allow gay marriage have to change the essence of the institutions can not be left to chance this law,” said Medina, who said, first, that the bill “eliminates a woman to talk to parents and contracting parties. ”
He also stressed that “the biological parent is required to recognize the child” so that the project should explain “how to exercise custody of three” if the child is adopted by a homosexual couple.
“Everyone should have equal rights. So why lesbians are going to have the right to give his family name to children and women in heterosexual marriages? “, Asked the judge.
Medina noted that “the seven countries who admitted to homosexual marriage, serious reforms did before.”
The judge argued that “it is well made changes, but must govern for all, not only for homosexuals,” and concluded: “I have hope that the Senate sanctioned a marriage law that protects the human rights of all” .
In the same vein, the owner of the National Civil Court No 85, Felix Igarzábal, called the law “is clear” and that “it is important for legislators to return the project (Deputies) because it is not caring. ”
The head of the National Civil Court, Martha Alsina Gomez said that both domestic law and international treaties relating to marriage as a union between “man and wife” and that to change this “the state would violate a treaty.”
“The state can not justify the breach of a treaty mistaking the domestic law of their country. Sanctioning reform in these terms would be injuring the right and we could say that the state and society are not adequately protecting the family, “he said.
At the end of last week, the commission presented the debate in the provinces of Chaco, Corrientes, and Salta, and today, after another meeting at 10, the senators will move to Catamarca and Tucumán.
