Is it legal to have a baby without marriage in india ?
08-Jul-2024 (In Family Law)
- Having a child without marriage is not illegal the law doesn't criminalize it.
-
Social stigma may still be an issue, but legally, children born outside marriage are not discriminated against in terms of rights like maintenance, custody, or inheritance from the mother.
-
Inheritance from the father can depend on proof of paternity and the personal laws governing the family (Hindu, Muslim, Christian, etc.).
-
Unmarried women can give birth and keep their children without restriction, and have the same right to medical care as married women.
