Illegitimacy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The stress that such circumstances of birth once regularly visited upon families, is illustrated in the case of Albert Einstein and his wife-to-be, Mileva Marić, who — when she became pregnant with the first of their three children, Lieserl — felt compelled to maintain separate residences in different cities. |
 | | Generally speaking, in the United States, "illegitimacy" has been supplanted by the concept, "born out of wedlock." One does not speak of a child being "illegitimate"; all children are equally legitimate. |
 | | Despite the decreasing legal relevance of illegitimacy, an important exception may be found in the nationality laws of many countries, which discriminate against illegitimate children in the application of jus sanguinis, particularly in cases where the child's connection to the country lies only through the father. |
