The child whose parents are not married does not belong to the father’s family and neither the father nor his family needs to meet more than minimal legal obligations to the child. The child’s position is ambiguous and its socialisation experience is likely to be inadequate.
No child should be brought into world without a man and one man at that assuming the role of sociological father that is guardian and protector the male link between the child and the rest of the community. Marriage can’t be defined as the licensing of sexual intercourse but rather as the licensing of parent-hood.”
The illegitimate child is a burden with no benefit to its mother’s kin, since his lack of a secure place in the kinship line means that his obligations to them are not firm or definite. They receive no gifts from the other kinship line, since there has been no marriage. The child represents in some societies a violation of the elder’s power to decide execute the marriage itself. Usually there is no father to assume the social and economic care of the child and the child is not an extension of the kinship line.
কার পাপে কোটি দুধের বাচ্চা আতুরে জন্মে মরে।
