Re: legal civil registeration in UK
If the mother does not want the father's info on the birth certificate, she would have to put "father unknown" or something like that. BUT the father has every right, if he desires, to have the birth certificate updated to reflect that he is the father. DNA testing would leave no doubt. So the wife is out of luck - if the father WANTS to be declared as the father, he will be. One way or another.
A man who does NOT want to legally marry is suspect - I mean the wife would have NO legal recourse. No right to benefits or to his income. He would be free to marry another. I just have to add this just in case. If the father is listed as the father on the birth certificate AND he is not legally married to the mother, he can take his child to an Islaamic country and that's the end of any hope for the mother keeping her child. Under Islaamic law, the children go to the father.
oh ym god....is this really tru?...had no idea....
thats harsh on the mother......so basically if the husband does not want to marry legally theres nothing a wife can do about it but jus accept it and live her life?.....
surley theres soemthing thw wife can hold against him or anything so he gives her that security!!....
unless all we as woman have to do is just 'trust' him with blind folds........and hope he doesnt leave me or doesnt take the kids away...!!!!
