El efecto del fallo constitucional a favor de Satya Bicknell- Rothon en las Instituciones Jurídicas de la Filiación, la Adopción y la Familia.

Abstract

The following work is focused on the effects and changes that the legal institution of adoption and filiation will have in Ecuador, as a result of the constitutional judgment No. 184-18-SEP-CC in favor of Satya Bicknell-Rothon, a girl born in Ecuador on December 8, 2011 through artificial insemination in a lesbian relationship. The sentence requests the registration of the girl in the Civil Registry as Ecuadorian, keeping their names and surnames recognizing the filiation that she has as the daughter of this homosexual couple. This judgment has an erga omnes effect, which has as consequences the denaturalization of filiation and adoption within the Ecuadorian legal system. While it is true that the theme of the diverse family is a controversial topic, it is not the main topic of the work, the following analysis is aimed at teaching if the Constitutional Court acted in a legally correct manner in relation to the Legal Institutions that will be affected by the present judgment.
