East German illegitimacy is about 60 percent. And they lived under de jure communism for 41 years.
The reality of how divorce laws are implemented by the courts to the disadvantage of men long predates that amendment. It goes back to the '70s womens movement, inspired no doubt by the heated US ERA movement of the time. And then the German birthrate took a nosedive. Quelle surprise, eh?
