The court based this action on an Austrian law that says that children must be brought up in the Catholic religion if the parents were Catholic at the time of their getting married unless both agree to change their religion.
Tiesa šādu darbību pamatoja uz Austrijas likumu, kurā teikts, ka bērni jāaudzina katoļu reliģijā, ja vecāki ir bijuši katoļi apprecēšanās laikā un abi nav vienojušies mainīt savu reliģiju.
