| 单词 | Presumption of legitimacy |
| 释义 | 婚生推定 The presumption that a child is legitimate if he is born in wedlock. The presumption of law as to a child’s legitimacy arising by virtue of the marriage of the child’s mother at a time related to the conception or birth of the child may be rebutted by proof on a balance of probabilities: Parent and Child Ordinance (Cap 429) s 5(3). This presumption applies in the case of a void or voidable marriage as it does in the case of a valid marriage: s 5(4). A child born as a result of a woman receiving artificial insemination will be protected by the presumption of legitimacy. Unless the husband can show that he did not consent to the wife receiving artificial insemination, he will be regarded as the father of the child: s 10(2). Where there was no scientific evidence or evidence from the parents, the question of whether a person was the lawful and natural child of his parents must be approached from a common sense point of view, having regard to the evidence available and all the relevant circumstances in the light of the presumption of legitimacy; the starting point must be the conduct of the parents: Kwan Chui Kwok Ying & Anor v Tao Wai Chun & Ors [1995] 1 HKC 374 (HC).
