Rejected petition Make legal requirement for Fathers too be put on there child’s birth certificate

This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
