In a case law: GURSKY Vs GURSKY It was held that not withstanding the husband’s consent such a child is Illegitimate. But the latest position seem to be that a husband who consents to his wife’s use of A.l.D. cannot disclaim his fatherhood for tlie purpose of child support. He will be estopped from denying his paternity if he expresses his consent to A.l.D. by his wife. Thus, the husband is required to fulfill all the legal obligation of a father towards his child.
