ILLEGITIMACY (from Lat. in-, not + fc- ffitiiiiux. Ic'Lral. from lex, law). According to the civil and statute law as found in many States, the status of children born out of wedlock. In England, children born out of wedlock have been held as illegitimate even upon subsequent inter- marriage of the parents; also children of the deceased wife's sister h.ave long lieen considered illegitimate. In Italy, much confusion has arisen as to legitimacy, owing to the strife between Church and State. It has been held that chil- dren resulting from marriages which had been solemnized by the Church only were illegitimate, a civil marriage being necessary to give legiti- macy to olfspring. In ew York the children of a man and woman cohabiting professedly as husliand and wife have been held to be legitimate. In France, where informal imions are common, the same rule does not hold. Children of such a union are considered illegitimate. A great variety exists as to theorj' and practice in difTcrent lands, and reference must !)e made to special treatises on the subject. Illegitimacy has lieen much discussed from three distinct points of view — the moral, the economic, and the legal. 1897 1898 1899 1900 COUNTBY Total births Illegit- imate Total births Illeglt- imat« Total births Illegit- imate Total births mpRit- imat« PRfCt. llleKit- Imate, 1900 Rnvrl) d uud Wales 921.693 106,664 128,877 1.991.126 869.107 190.987 1.101.848 161.441 132,999 38.409 2.802 8.068 184.084 75.989 15,885 70,199 4.407 14,933 923,166 105.457 130.861 2.029.890 • 843.933 190.921 1.070.074 160,765 136.523 38.333 2.873 8,870 1R5.220 74.586 15.052 67.262 4.206 15.641 928,646 103.900 130.656 2.045.286 847.627 194.268 1.088.658 163.289 37.124 2.674 8,448 183,504 74,970 14,919 67.262 4,290 926.304 101.46'J 131.355 36.814 2.702 8.603 4.00 2.7 6.6 (1899) 8.9 827.297 73,121 8.8 (1899) 7.r>8 Itnlv 1.067.376 162.611 63,406 6.00 4.247 2.6 Swe(i»n
