This question just cross my mind yesterday.

Can a man registered as father in the Birth Cert of the child borne by his mistress.

Q.1 Assuming the mistress is a local.

Q.2 Assuming the mistress is a non-local.

Assuming his wife do not have objection and what happen if she object?

What will be the legald"]PS : None of my friend or me involved in such case. Just curious and kapo. [/COLOR] :D

If i am not wrong, for your two questions. It is YES.
Even if the guy is married, he can still register as the father.
Just can't marry the mistress.

dun know about it but i know there are about 40 males in singapore who are practising polygamy.. they are all muslims by the way..

[buzzing]

i dont think so, unless u r marry the girl (which means that u have to be a muslim).

i think u need to produce ur marriage certificate when you register the child.

and polygamy is illegal (unless u a muslim) in singapore.. can go to jail one... so dun play play...

to be sure, check with the register of birth and ICA..

cheers!!

hi bro.

may i noe how u derive the figures?:)

Nope you don't need a marriage cert to register as the father. As long as the girl signs a form and acknowledge that the guy is the father. Yep. i know.

[wahlau]

Yes you can register as the father as long as the child is born in Spore.

My sister-in-law did it. Only thing is can't legally marry.

The authorities closed one eye.

Answer.1 Can.
Answer 2. Can also.
If the wife objects then she can take legal actions against the husband such as divorce.

You can register a baby for Birth Certificate to be the father or mother...
However if the father and mother is not married in the eyes of law, the couple will have to take a oath that says that the baby is theirs...

Thk all bro for sharing of info. :)

Curious question. Say the father can register the name of an illegitmate child on the Birth Cert.

Can the child take the Surname of the father or must take the surname of the mother. Since both are not legally married.

I heard from various conflicting sources about this one; so not sure whose's answer is right.

very simple....call lawyer or government authorities to check....:cool:

i had my daughter with my ex-gf back in 2002
she was a thai... we were not registered or married... my daughter's B.C was made in SG though she was not a citizen of singapore at that point of time... but i took an oath with my ex-gf to say that we were the parents of my daughter... the oath was taken in SIR building in lavender...

How you know, was it something that you did before? :eek:

[buzzing]

I have this question... any someone please englighten me.

If the man is married, and the gf who is not singaporean, and baby born outside singapore.

Can they register the child? or can the child be registered to be a Singaproean?

If can... how?

thx..

so is your daughter now a singaporean?
also what happen if something happen and DNA was tested and found out that the result does not match one of the parent, will SIR come after because you took an oath that she is your daughter?:D

[sinner82]

sorry for the late reply... actually my daughter did not get singapore citizenship cause my gf wasnt married to me. Took the oath to let my daughter take my surname. A child will not be issed singapore citizenship even though he/she is borned in singapore. however i think the law may change soon cause of the IR thingy as singapore will soon be employing foreigners...
