A child born out of wedlock is a beneficiary of his biological grandparents' trust, the California Court of Appeal has ruled in reversing judgment.
The defendant's biological grandparents created a family trust in 1966. Under the terms of the trust, the "issue" of their only son - the defendant's father - was to receive the trust assets in the event the son did not survive his parents.

WASHINGTON - The number of babies being born out of wedlock has increased sharply in the United States, driven primarily by significant jumps in women in their 20s and 30s having children without getting married, according to a federal report.
More than 1.7 million babies were born to unmarried women in 2007, a 26 percent rise from 2002 and more than double the number in 1980, according to the report from the National Center for Health Statistics. The increase reflected a 21 percent jump in the rates of unmarried women giving birth, which rose from 43.7 per 1,000 women in 2002 to 52.9 per 1,000 women.

WASHINGTON - Nearly half of American dads under 45 this Father's Day say they have at least one kid who was born out of wedlock. And the share of fathers living apart from children is more than double what it was not so long ago.

The article about Rabbi Alvin Wainhaus included an assertion that Jewish children born out of wedlock are forbidden to marry. This is incorrect. What the article was undoubtedly referring to was what Jewish law calls a mamzer.
Mamzer is often translated into English as "bastard," but does not refer to a child born out of wedlock as the English term does. A mamzer, according to Jewish law, is one born out of a biblically prohibited union, such as an adulterous affair or incest.
