Corte Cost., n.33, 21.3.2025, pres. Amoroso, est. Navarretta
| | | |Adozione internazionale – esclusione della persona singola dalla possibilità di adottare - art. 29-bis, comma 1, l. n.184/1983 – assenza di proporzionalità rispetto alla tutela dell’interesse del minore – violazione degli artt.2 e 117 Cost. in relazione all’art.8 Cedu – incostituzionalità
L’art. 29 bis comma 1 l. 184/1993, nella parte in cui, facendo rinvio all’art.6, esclude le persone singole residenti in Italia dai soggetti legittimati a presentare la dichiarazione di disponibilità ad adottare un minore straniero residente all’estero, è incostituzionale per contrasto con gli artt. 2 e 117 Cost, quest’ultimo in relazione all’art.8 Cedu, in quanto l’esclusione non persegue con mezzi idonei e proporzionati il primario interesse del minore ad essere cresciuto in un ambiente familiare stabile ed armonioso; inoltre detta esclusione non risponde ad un’esigenza sociale pressante e configura - nell’attuale contesto giuridico-sociale - una interferenza non necessaria in una società democratica, posto che l’interesse del minore è adeguatamente preservato dalla verifica giudiziale della concreta idoneità dell’adottante.
international adoption - exclusion of a single person from the possibility of adoption - Article 29-bis(1) of Law No. 184/1983 - lack of proportionality in relation to the protection of the child\'s best interests - infringement of Articles 2 and 117 of the Constitution in relation to Article 8 ECHR - unconstitutionality
Article 29a(1) of Law 184/1993, in so far as, by making reference to Article 6, it excludes individuals residing in Italy from the persons entitled to submit a declaration of willingness to adopt a foreign child residing abroad, is unconstitutional on grounds of conflict with Articles 2 and 117 of the Constitution, the latter in relation to Article 8 The latter in relation to Article 8 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR), inasmuch as the exclusion does not pursue the child\'s primary interest in being brought up in a stable and harmonious family environment by suitable and proportionate means; moreover, the exclusion does not respond to a pressing social need and constitutes - in the current legal and social context - an unnecessary interference in a democratic society, given that the child\'s interest is adequately safeguarded by judicial verification of the adopting party\'s actual suitability.
