About this document
Legitimacy of Children in Islamic Law by Ghulam Hussain Mahar is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses legitimacy and paternity under Islamic law and Indian law. It provides 3 main points: 1) Islamic law had complex rules for determining legitimacy based on timing of birth and marriage status. These rules are now obsolete in India due to the Indian Evidence Act of 1872. 2) The Indian Evidence Act of 1872 established consistent rules for determining legitimacy regardless of religion, based on birth during marriage or within 280 days of dissolution. These rules differ from Islamic law
