illegitimacy
illegitimacy n. (1)非法(性)；不法(性) (2)私生；非婚生 指未婚父母所生的子女或已婚妇女与非其丈夫的男子所生的子女，以及由此造成的社会和道德问题。非婚生子女一般由母亲抚养，但根据非婚生子女生父确认令或根据合同，她可取得抚养费。在英国，非婚生子女一般不能继承财产，但能通过赠与或遗嘱取得财产。制定法已大大改变了普通法的立场，并且在很大程度上使非婚生子女的地位等同于婚生子女。在美国，非婚生子女对其生父财产的继承权得到宪法性保护。自从联邦最高法院对特林布尔诉格登〔Trimble v. Gordon〕一案作出判决后，许多州就有关继承权的法律进行了修改，以避免对非婚生子女造成不公平歧视。 (→illegitimate child；legitimacy)
