 A child born before marriage will become a legitimate child only upon subsequent marriage of the father and mother, or upon being registered as such by the father, or upon being adjudged as such by a court.

A father may register a child as his legitimate child only upon the consent of the child and the mother of the child. The child or mother of the child may object to his fatherhood, in which event the registration shall require a judgment of a court.

When an authority has notified the child and the mother of the request for registration, if no objection is made within one month from the day the notification is known or should become known, the child and the mother shall be deemed to have given their consent. If the child or mother is outside Siam, such period of time shall be extended to six months.

An interested person may request a court to revoke the registration of a child for the reason that the requestor for such registration is not the father. But the action must be instituted within three months from the day he know of the registration. In addition, it shall not be instituted upon the passage of ten years from the day of the registration.
