False Paternity - Only a Bad Thing When It Benefits Men

RandomMan writes "In Germany, there is a loophole which allows men to 'falsely' declare paternity (there's a switch), allowing mothers with children to remain in the country and receive social benefits. The man receives some compensation from the woman for committing this fraud.

Unethical and immoral, but it's happening. However, women have been saddling men with false accusations of paternity as a money-making scheme for over a century, but now 'action is being taken', because something about all this lying might somehow benefit a MAN who chooses to lie. It's not that I support lying by anyone, but...double standard, anyone? The fact that this loophole exists because the laws were designed to permit the fraudulent naming of fathers for the profit of women seems to tbe quite lost on the government officials involved."
