It seems I am totally wrong and indulging in a discussion which was not necessary at all. I seek my excuse from all members in the topic. ChatGPT at duckduckgo gave me this answer:Really? I admit I assumed they were both competent adults and were aware that pregnancy could result from sexual intercourse. In which case, the male was as responsible fur the pregnancy as the woman. Of course she bears all risks to her health, her education and employment t opportunities, her standing in the community, etc.
Rights of a child born of casual adult consensual sex in India
In India, the rights of a child born from casual adult consensual sex are primarily governed by various laws and principles that ensure the welfare and protection of children. Here are some key points regarding the rights of such children:
- Right to Identity: Every child has the right to a name and nationality. The birth of the child must be registered, and the child should be given a name.
- Right to Maintenance: Under the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act, 1956, and the Muslim Personal Law, a child has the right to claim maintenance from the parents. This includes financial support for the child's upbringing.
- Right to Inheritance: In India, children have the right to inherit property from their parents. The laws governing inheritance may vary based on the religion of the parents, but generally, a child born out of wedlock has rights to the property of the mother and, in some cases, the father.
- Right to Education: The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009, ensures that every child has the right to education. This applies regardless of the circumstances of the child's birth.
- Right to Protection: The child is entitled to protection from abuse, neglect, and exploitation under various laws, including the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012.
- Right to Health: The child has the right to access healthcare services, including immunization and medical care, as per the provisions of the National Health Mission and other health policies.
- Social Stigma and Discrimination: While the law provides for the rights of children, societal attitudes may lead to discrimination against children born out of wedlock. Efforts are being made to address these issues through awareness and legal reforms.
- Legal Recognition: The legal status of a child born out of casual consensual sex is recognized, and such children are entitled to the same rights as those born within marriage, although there may be challenges in establishing paternity in some cases.
That is tough and Indian males should be careful in what they do.
