Illegitimacy Laws of the United States and Certain Foreign Countries

Illegitimacy Laws of the United States and Certain Foreign Countries, originally published in 1918, offers a comprehensive overview of the legal status and rights of illegitimate children during the early 20th century. Authored by Ernst Freund, a prominent legal scholar, this work examines the laws pertaining to illegitimacy across various states in the U.S. and compares them with legal frameworks in selected foreign countries.

The book delves into critical issues such as parental responsibilities, inheritance rights, and the legal standing of illegitimate children within society. It provides valuable insights into the historical context of family law and the evolving attitudes toward children born out of wedlock. This meticulously researched study serves as an important resource for legal historians, family law scholars, and anyone interested in understanding the historical treatment of illegitimacy in law and society.
