Father Roulette

A German judge has coined a brilliant term for the new family model we have adopted to replace marriage: father roulette. From the Daily Mail, German woman loses legal bid to discover male escort’s identity after he got her pregnant during a three-night hotel fling seven years ago:

[She was] attempting to track down ‘Michael’ in order to claim a support allowance.

But a court in Munich has ruled the hotel chain does not have to give up the escort’s identity, saying the woman was playing ‘father roulette’.
