 A child born of a father and mother who have not married each other shall be deemed to be 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 when the child or mother of the child has no objection to his fatherhood. Upon such objection, the registration of the child requires a judgment of a court.

If the child or mother of the child is outside Thailand, such time limit shall be extended to one hundred and eighty days.

Once the registrar has notified the child and the mother of the child of a request for registration of the child as a legitimate child according to section 1548, irrespective of whether or not the child or mother of the child would object to the request for registration according section 1548, the child or mother of the child may, within a time limit of not more than ninety days from the day the notification of the request for registration reached the child or mother of the child, notify the registrar
