crvs:PaternityRecognition
A formal act in which a parent, typically a father, establishes legal parentage for a child born outside marriage. Takes place before a registrar, notary, or court and is often annotated on the child's original birth record. Distinct from Legitimation, which additionally establishes the child as born within marriage.
