KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Natural Child
A natural child traditionally referred to a child born outside marriage.
Historically, illegitimate children often faced legal disadvantages, especially in matters of inheritance and family rights.
Modern law has reduced many of these distinctions, and gifts made to “children” in wills are now generally presumed to include children born outside marriage.
The term may also refer to a biological child as opposed to an adopted child.
The concept remains relevant mainly in historical legal documents and family law terminology.
