Illegitimate children? and property rights

by varshakale @ 2006-08-20 - 23:16:05

There is confusion about whether children born outside marriage could claim inheritance of the property of their biological parents. Though law in India theoretically give such children status of 'legitimate' children, they are not entitled to claim right on the property inherited by their parents from ancestors.

Can there be legitimate and illegitimate children?
Should there be difference between those born out of legal marriage and those born without marriage?

Depends upon what you choose.Many women get pregnent,by the one night stand.
There is no mutual agreement between,the man and women involved in the one night stand for having a baby.
I don't thinkthese children can be legitimate enough to claim the man's property.

I think it depends if they are acknowledged or not. I tend to agree with the above comment.

Really, its all about context. Many women aren't empowered enough to ask their partner (be it a one night stand or long term relationship) to wear a condom. Having even the knowledge of contraception may not be possible. I don't think women would "trap" a man into fathering a child for economic gain. If she did, then you have to look at the context as to why she did. Would an economic, political and social independent human being make the same desicions? I think that the responsibility lies with both parents, if the man did not use contraception, he is a much at fault as the women if she become pregnant.

Well, it's a difficult question to answer...I see that.
But my opinion is: A child is a child. What has the child itself to do with the intentions or not-intentions of the parents?? There should be no illegitimate children at all; all children are legitimate - just because thery are ALIVE! And since a child is existant, everyone of it should have the same rights as another, no matter under which circumstances they were born.
This has, in my opinion, nothing to do with contraception or anything the parents do or don't do. Here's a seperate human being with a right to live and gain anything to live. Any other problem is the parents', and they should deal with it without touching the child's rights.

i think legitimate is a term given out by law. like being married or not. it's because you are seen within a ceratin context. so legoitimate children are those seen to be born within the moral context of a society which usually means born within the bounds of marriage. in many societies only children who are acknowleged (by the father) are legitimate when it comes to inheritance and stuff. They may still be illegitimate in the way they were conceived and born but they can be akcnowledged.

It's up to the law of each country to decide what's legitimate or not. But if people have a child as a result of carelessness(no contraceptives, then they are both responsible although women are more blamed than men and therefore they should be more careful for their own good. But if say, you wanted the child to inherit money, then you have to prove stuff and do DNA tests and it cant always be enforced.
at the end of the day, legitimate or illegitimate are just words. words to make people feel good or bad about themselves. chilcdren are just that. once they are born, they belong to whoever sired them!

It's not a difficult question to answer!

Adults are responsible for their actions. Babies aren't.

If you made it it's your responsibility. You may need assistance of one sort or another, but primarily it's your child so you should care for it unless that's impossibile due to, say, serious disability/mental illness.

The very idea that anyone can contemplate deserting their child for purely selfish reasons disgusts me.

All humans are born legitimate. The hetero-sexual, monogamous family clamped on humanity for the purpose of controlling the sexuality of women by men and also for the purpose of inheritance of property blocks genuine feelings of love and compassion.
This institution(the type of family mentioned above) has overstayed to cause a major stumbling block in all endeavours to halt voilence and deprivations to fellow humans.
