Nikah (Marriage) - Talaaq (Divorce) The Majlis Vol 24 No 02, p.3

A woman has been separated from her husband for some years.

Question

A woman has been separated from her husband for some years. She committed adultery and a child was born. What is the status of the child?

Answer

As long as the husband has not issued Talaaq to his wife, the children she bears will be regarded as his children. A separation without Talaaq does not cancel the Nikah. The child will inherit in the husband's estate since he will be the legal father.
