| Summary: | Position of illegitimate children in so - called zadruga (extended family, common among South Slavs) is examined in this paper. The rules of customary law regarding personal rights, property rights and rights of succession of illegitimate children are presented and critically analyzed. Children born out of wedlock were not equal to children born in lawful marriage. Therefore, significance of legalization of illegitimate children in terms of improvement of their legal status is pointed out. Usually, paternity could be determined solely subject to the consent, i. e. recognition of the illegitimate father. Extramarital paternity could not be established in legal proceedings, except when pregnancy is a consequence of rape. |
