The social norms are changing and there are many children who are born in situations outside of marriage as well. The rights of these innocent children has to be secured, and it is the right of every child to know who their biological parents are. Once the rights of the child are secured, the rights of visitation/custody/maintenance of the legal father are secured.
A child will have an easier time by knowing the identity of his or her father.
Paternity means fatherhood. When both parents sign an Acknowledgment of Paternity, the biological father becomes the legal father. Once paternity has been established, the father's name is placed on the birth certificate. A court can order him to pay child support and grant him the right to visitation or possession of his child.
Why should paternity be acknowledged at the time of birth?
There are two main reasons. First, this is the most convenient time. Everything is together in one place. The necessary forms would be made available at hospitals. The earlier in the baby's life paternity is established, the more secure his or her future will be.
What if the father does not believe the child is his?
He can ask for paternity testing. A court will look at the results of the paternity test and at other evidence that would link the father to the child.
There are situations within a marriage, where a woman may carry the Child of a man other than the husband. In such a situation, the Section of Denial of Paternity has to be filled by the husband, and the real biological father has to sign the Acknowledgement of Paternity. In case of Doubt, DNA Paternity testing can be done.
It is important that married Fathers pay for the maintenance of their Legitimate Children within a marriage, and are not burdened to maintain Cuckolded children of other fathers.
In view of the various birth options, it is time to Update the Format of the Birth Certificate in India.
