SCHEDULE 4 Effect of extension of marriage: further provision

PART 2 Presumption on birth of child to married woman

Common law presumption

2 (1) Section 11 does not extend the common law presumption that a child born to a woman during her marriage is also the child of her husband.

(2) Accordingly, where a child is born to a woman during her marriage to another woman, that presumption is of no relevance to the question of who the child’s parents are.
