Bombay High Court Orders Correction of Child’s Birth Certificate Based on DNA Evidence
The Bombay High Court has ordered the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation to issue a corrected birth certificate for a girl born in 2009, replacing the name of her mother's then-husband with that of her biological father based on DNA evidence. The court also directed that the identities of the petitioners be kept confidential to protect their privacy. The case involved a woman who had the child during separation from her first husband and later married the biological father, both affirming their parentage under oath.
