The dispute over the travel permit for the daughter shared by Argentine urban music star Cazzu and regional Mexican idol Christian Nodal has put a widespread issue on the legislative agendas of both countries, inspiring a legislative initiative aimed at guaranteeing children’s right to mobility in cases of parental abandonment.

In Mexico, the proposal, known as “Ley Cazzu” (Cazzu Law), takes its name from the stage name of Latin trap singer Julieta Cazzucheli and is being promoted by Michoacán state legislator Sandra Arreola Ruiz, from the Partido Verde Ecologista (Green Party).
According to a statement from the Michoacán Congress released on March, the singer’s case highlighted the difficulties women in Mexico face when trying “to carry out essential procedures for their children, such as obtaining passports or travel permits. The law requires the father’s authorization, even when he is not involved in the child’s upbringing or fulfilling his parental obligations.”
The legislative proposal will be presented this Thursday (April 9) before the plenary session of Mexico’s Chamber of Deputies. It will eventually be analyzed by a special commission, as it involves an initiative to amend Article 4 of the Mexican Constitution to prioritize the best interests of children.
“Cazzu brought visibility to this serious issue because behind the media coverage, there are hundreds of stories of minors suffering due to absent and irresponsible fathers,” Arreola Ruiz tells Billboard Español. “This is the situation we want to change.”
In September 2025, Cazzu — also known as “La Jefa” (The Boss) — revealed on the podcast Se Regalan Dudas that at one point she needed a travel permit from Nodal, from whom she separated in 2024, for their daughter Inti to leave Argentina, the country where mother and daughter reside. However, the request was denied.
In October last year, Nodal’s legal defense issued a statement denying that the permits regarding the child’s international travels had been “unilaterally denied.” “They have never been refused,” the statement said, claiming that the requests were allegedly made without adequate notice. The lawyer, César Muñoz, made these assertions in the statement.
Billboard Español reached out to representatives for Cazzu and Nodal but had not received a response at press time.
“This is a story that brings attention to a social issue impacting Mexico but also the broader region, where we unfortunately have a culture of paternal abandonment,” Arreola Ruiz adds, adding that in Mexico more than 1.3 million women are mothers, many of them single, and over 410,000 men are child support debtors.
The “Cazzu Law” was also featured on Change.org — the world’s largest platform for citizen mobilization and digital petitions — where, at the time of this publication, nearly 38,000 people had supported the cause.
In Argentina, a similar bill was drafted by the group Abogadas Feministas AMBA and bears the signature of senator Carlos Linares. The initiative seeks to amend an article in the Civil and Commercial Code to allow for the provisional suspension of parental responsibility in cases of serious non-compliance. It aims to address a complex problem: that of parents who, despite failing to fulfill their obligations, retain decision-making power over their children’s lives, according to the newspaper El Clarín.
The publication says that 16% of households in Argentina are single-parent homes, and more than eight in ten of these are led by women. Over 3 million children and adolescents in Argentina live in such households.
Arreola Ruiz acknowledges that her legislative proposal has faced criticism for carrying the name of an artist who is not Mexican. “But it is Cazzu, through her regional influence, who has given voice to and highlighted what many women experience, both in and out of the spotlight,” she says.
After being presented before the plenary session of Mexico’s Chamber of Deputies on Thursday, the Cazzu Law bill will be analyzed by the Constitutional Affairs Committee. If admitted, a ruling will be prepared. Once the proposal reaches this stage, it will be discussed and voted on in the plenary session. If approved, it will move to the Mexican Senate and subsequently require approval from the local legislatures of Mexico’s 32 states before it can be officially enacted.
“The fact that a legislative initiative is presented and reaches the plenary session of the Chamber of Deputies so quickly speaks to the significant visibility that Cazzu’s case has,” Arreola Ruiz remarks. “The best outcome would be for a judge to have the legal tools to resolve these cases as quickly and effectively as possible.”
