Children who are born out of wedlock or outside the legal marriage of their parents in Indonesia have a legal relationship only with their mother and mother’s family. The biological father’s name will not appear on the child’s birth certificate. However, the child may have a legal relationship with his father and his family, as long as the legal process is carried out separately. This legal process is called legalization of children born out of wedlock.
