According to Article 64 of the Family Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan, a child born out of wedlock has the same rights as a child born from intermarriage.
According to this law, if the father or mother of a child born out of wedlock submits an application to the registry office about the birth of a child, their parentage will be determined. If both father and mother do not recognize the child, it is stipulated that paternity will be determined by court procedure.
An application to establish paternity regarding a child out of wedlock can be filed not only after the birth of the child, but also during the mother's pregnancy. Article 61, Part 4 of the Family Code defines this issue. According to it, if there are grounds indicating that it will be impossible or difficult for a couple to submit a joint application for the determination of paternity after the birth of the child, the unmarried parents of the unborn child have the right to submit such an application to the civil status registration body during the mother's pregnancy.
