The new policy for remarriage and childbirth in Shanghai has been introduced, granting equal rights to children born out of wedlock and those born in wedlock. Legitimate children are children born to both men and women after establishing a marriage relationship in accordance with the law, while illegitimate children are children born before establishing a marriage relationship or through extramarital activities, such as illegal cohabitation, premarital sex, cohabitation, adultery, and rape.
Although children born in wedlock and children born out of wedlock are different products of legal and illegal marriages in terms of birth form, their legal status is the same.
Article 25 of the Marriage Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that "children born out of wedlock enjoy the same rights as children born in wedlock, and no one shall harm or discriminate against them. The biological father or mother who does not directly raise a child born out of wedlock shall bear the child's living and education expenses until the child can live independently." The law clearly stipulates that children born out of wedlock enjoy the same rights as children born in wedlock in terms of being raised, receiving education, inheriting inheritance, and other aspects, and no one shall deprive them.
