Question about illegitimate child?

Question

say a child was born before the parents were married, but then the parents married like a year later.

is that child considered "born out of wedlock"? or he/she was just "born before the parents were married" and that's all.

the parents didn't necessarily get married with the sole purpose of making the child "not a bast*rd" (for lack of better words, sorry), they just got married and had a kid out of the traditional order.

please tell me if i need to add more details.

thanks!!

Answer 1

I thing the terms out of wedlock were used long ago and not any longer.

I had a child before I was married .

I married his dad when he was 6 months old. we were still his parenst. He's never been called a b*****d, except maybe by his wife in an argument, not b/c his parenst weren't married at the time.

No labels, my dear.  

Answer 2

First off, there is no such thing as an illegitimate child... baby's are just surprises, not mistakes. Using that term makes it come across as a mistake.

She/he was just born after the parents married. And really, it shouldn't matter when and if parents marry. What does count though is if both parents are in that child's life.
