Question 8
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).
