Question 8

2025 Bar · Civil Law · 1 sub-question

8. A and B were husband and wife. A was pregnant at the time of their wedding but contrary to what she made B believe, he was not the father of her baby. C, A’s ex- fiancé, was the father. Shortly after the wedding, A gave birth to a baby girl named D. B doted on D but as she grew up, he could not help but notice how she did not look like him or A at all. Acting on his suspicion about D’s true paternity, B had a DNA test in secret where it was confirmed that he was not D’s father. B thus filed for annulment of marriage, which was granted. In view of the annulment decree, what is the status of D—legitimate, legitimated, or illegitimate? Reason(s).
