My husband and I got married and registered our marriage. However, I found out he was previously in a live-in relationship with a Muslim woman and has a child. He claimed to be unmarried when registering our marriage. Now, I am expecting a baby. Is our marriage legally valid? What legal rights will my child have?

Your marriage is legally valid as it was registered. However, your husband’s prior relationship and child may affect his financial obligations. Your child will be considered legitimate and inherit rights as any other child born in a valid marriage, but your husband’s prior relationship might affect property division in a potential divorce. Consult a lawyer for specific advice.
