Legitimacy/Parentage of child

  1. The presumption is in favour of the legitimacy of the child. Paternity of a child born out of a lawful wedlock normally carries presumption of truth in his favour. Mere simple denial could never take away the status of legitimacy as “child follows the bed”. Muhammad Sajid v. Mst. Sajida Rasheed & another 2016 SCR 1284 (D)
  2. Held: The evidence of a woman would be sufficient to prove the parentage of a child. M. Sajid v. Mst. Sajida Rasheed 2016 SCR 1284 (E) Ss. 145 to 149 of the Majmooa-e-Qawaneen-e-Islam, edited by Dr. Tanzeel-ur-Rehman, PLD 1975 SC 624,1987 CLC 2073, PLD 1988 SC 8 & PLD 1991 SC 275 rel.
