First and foremost i want to explain the meaning of "Children born out of Wedlock". It simply means a means a child born out of marriage.
So by this explanation it shows that 60% of us here were born out of wedlock. In most cases, those children are the ones that triggered their father to pay their mothers dowry. If not for them the man is not even ready to pay anything yet.
But in Africa we begin to view such children as illegitimate child. But the big question is that does God also view that child as illegitimate? I think the answer is no. Because if God sees that child as illegitimate then He will not bless that child. Then if so who are you to call a gift of God as illegitimate. They are denied access to their fathers wealth. But i bet you to do research very well you will see that most of our successful people in society are children born out of wedlock. I dont want to mention names but you that is reading this, are you not doing well for yourself? Abi Dem Born you for inside Marriage? What about those who waited to be married before they will start having kids and ends up not having one. It is only God who has program this life the way it is.
Africans should learn to accommodate every child who is their blood. Most married men are taking care of other people's kids as a result of their wife's infidelity. Is it not better to have my own child out of wedlock than to have another man's child in my house.
Children born as a result of adultery should not be labeled as illegitimate children or despicable children born into this world. Basically the child doesn't know anything about his birth into the world. it would be very cruel if someone called it like that. There is still a polemic regarding the future status of the child born as a result of adultery. According to the teachings and what I understand in my religion. Based on the consensus of the ulama, a child who is born as a result of an adulterous relationship, the child's status will be assigned to the mother's child and not to the biological father, why is that because the relationship with the biological father is severed, including legally his inheritance. He only has the right to inherit from his mother and vice versa, his mother has the right to inherit from him.
and it is still a matter of discussion what the status of a child will be when he is an adult and who has the right to be his guardian? According to the ulama, the person who has the right to be the guardian of the child's marriage will be the judge's guardian because he cannot be related to his biological father because he grew up in a fetus and gave birth without prior marriage, inversely proportional to if the child grows up in the fetus of his parents who are married and has become her mahrom. Hopefully this will be educational so that it doesn't become a misunderstanding in the future, most children who are born as a result of their biological father's adultery are considered to be able to be their guardians, they are considered normal, they are considered the same as children born to non-adultery parents when they get married later, of course This violates the rules and violates the law in religion. For that reason, let's educate the environment and people around us so that young couples don't get pregnant out of wedlock. Of course I hope and pray for everyone to avoid the sin of adultery and always fear Allah, carry out all His commandments and stay away from all His prohibitions...
