Pregnancy provision updated The Justice Ministry issued a notice May 7 to address public discontent over a controversial Civil Code provision that regards a baby born within 300 days after the mother's divorce as a child born to her and her former spouse even if the father is another man. Under the notice, to be applied for birth registrations submitted from May 21, a child who has a doctor's certificate showing the mother became pregnant after she got divorced will be accepted as the child of the woman and her current husband, or as an out-of-wedlock baby.
