The second section of the Suez Administrative Prosecution received a report that alternative families forged birth certificates for their sponsored children and those who were Muslims from the Directorate of Social Solidarity in Suez.
By conducting the necessary investigations, and assigning the Civil Status Sector of the Ministry of Interior to examine and prepare the necessary report, it was found that the names of the children mentioned in their original birth certificates had been changed to the name of the surrogate father and the surrogate mother with new birth certificates and new national numbers.
The investigations initiated by Counselor Ahmed Abdel Salam, Chief Prosecutor, in Case No. 332 of 2021 and under the supervision of Counselor Ahmed Youssef, Director of Suez Prosecutions, ended with referring the accused to a disciplinary trial, and notifying the Civil Status Sector of the Ministry of Interior to remedy the violations and submitting it to the competent Fatwa Department of the State Council.
The Administrative Prosecution has written its rationale that what the aforementioned foster parents did, although it constitutes a criminal and disciplinary offense, but it also represents a moral crime that represents a departure from the values and principles of society and a demolition of the foundations and established beliefs that were surrounded by a strong fence of legal provisions and what has been settled by custom and the rules of general Sharia. These principles ensured that lineages would not mix, and even criminalized that with texts including the saying of God Almighty (Call them to their fathers, it is more just with God), since preserving lineage is a human necessity, except that perhaps the aforementioned sponsoring and taking care of these children is a form of reviving the human soul, as God Almighty said (And whoever saves her, it is as if he saved all people), and that in the event of leaving them and not paying attention to their sponsorship, care and education, this may pose a danger to the whole society, and that the state has a great role in this support and care, as it pays great attention to the loss of father, mother and family through civil associations and institutions .
According to the investigations of the Public Prosecution: Since the public interest of these children is their continuity with those alternative families who were brought up among their members and harmonized among the members of their families as good members of society so that they obtain the sufficient amount of care that they were denied before, and so that their separation is not a cause of deviation in their behavior, especially Some of them have reached the age of twenty years, but this does not mean that things will not be restored to its rightful place. Warding off evil takes precedence over bringing interests, and since we are dealing with cases where each person carries two national names and numbers, one of them is true and the other is false without their knowledge.
According to the “Prosecution”: The conditions and legal positions of the aforementioned have been settled for many years by enrolling them in schools with these names, and some of them graduated with the same names, and keeping those forged names would have other future effects, including mixing in the lineages and the inheritance of those who do not deserve and other matters. Others may be imagined to occur in the future, and perhaps we are faced with a legal and social dilemma that necessitates examining the mentioned cases and applying the provisions of the law to them, in a manner that does not conflict with the established legal centers, and without prejudice to the future conditions of the mentioned ones.
