Last year, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that Germany’s law requiring the mother’s approval for a single father to be granted parental rights violated the European Union’s charter prohibiting discrimination. Now Germany’s highest court has followed suit declaring the scheme unconstitutional.

The feminazis don’t like it one bit when they get what they ask for - equality.
Sorry, nags, but equality means equality - not special privileges for wackos who vote democrat.

I would have preferred if they had kept this particular scheme intact to give people another incentive to get married, but instead ended the everyday discrimination against married fathers and husbands.

If you wonder where the politics are for this basic human right, the mentioned Die Tageszeitung is a far left rag that usually supports the Greens (the German greens, far more left than our Greens). You know the type, they strongly support every “right” imaginable, including adult men having sex with boys, and they support “gender equality” except of course when it comes to giving the male gender equality of rights with the female.

Forgot to write the rest. It is a wonder this took so long, given the German constitution says:

Article 3 [Equality before the law]

(1) All persons shall be equal before the law.

(2) Men and women shall have equal rights. The state shall promote the actual implementation of equal rights for women and men and take steps to eliminate disadvantages that now exist.

(3) No person shall be favored or disfavored because of sex...

Looks pretty clear to me, especially the "shall" portion of (2). But you know the type even here, where the Constitution means what they want it to mean regardless of the clear text and intent.
