Legitimacy , in traditional Western common law , is the status of a child born to parents who are legally married to each other, and of a child conceived before the parents obtain a legal divorce . Conversely, illegitimacy , also known as bastardy , has been the status of a child born outside marriage, such a child being known as a bastard , a love child , a natural child , or illegitimate . In Scots law , the terms natural son and natural daughter carry the same implications.
