An unmarried father (listed on the birth certificate, or not) has no rights under Bahamas laws.
They did not marry.

"They did not marry."

Just a question. Have the Bahamas been struck with the same challenges in their courts of having 'commitment ceremonies' hold legal weight as a marriage, the way some of our states have?

That commitment ceremony and all of the possible interested parties in that issue, REALLY bother me.

I'm not sure that's true and in any event thus far the Bahamas has treated Stern as though he has legal rights over the child. Otherwise they'd have put her in foster care.
