WHAT DOES BORN OUT OF WEDLOCK MEAN IN ENGLISH?

born out of wedlock

Legitimacy (law)

In Western common law, legitimacy is the status of a child born to parents who are legally married to each other; and of a child conceived before the parents receive a legal divorce. Conversely, illegitimacy (or bastardy) is the status of a child born outside marriage. The consequences of illegitimacy have pertained mainly to a child's rights of inheritance to the putative father's estate and the child's right to bear the father's surname or title. Illegitimacy has also had consequences for the mother's and child's right to support from the putative father. (See Affiliation (family law).) Today, births outside marriage represent a majority in a growing number of European and most Latin American countries, but remain rare in Asia.
