Interesting question. I don't know the legal position but would assume that the mother will be entitled (if she so desires) to have custody of the child till a particular age, when the child which is now grown up, can decide.
I would also suppose that the biological father must ensure proper alimony is paid unless of course the mother gets married to someone else. Recently I saw a Tamizh film "Bachelor" where the boy and the girl choose to have a "live in" relationship (concepts unknown to us Sr citizens) and the girl becomes pregnant and the scan shows it to be twins. While the girl gets attached to the babies she is carrying, the boy compels her to have her pregnancy aborted. She refuses and they part ways. The girl's side sues the boy and even as we expect a court decision in her favour (girl's side uses some forged evidence to show they were married), in the climax the girl tells the court she withdraws her plea and just walks away - leaving the boy feeling guilty. There ends the story with the girl showing some gestures with her hand which I could not understand. Perils of live in relationships which our girls particularly, should be aware of. But then, this is now a permissive society and each is on his own - traditions are being given a go by and you are labelled a conservative / not modern etc. if you care to advise. Women's lib. Our girls should realize the well meaning Tamizh words "whether the saree falls on the fence or the fence falls on the saree, it is the saree that will get torn". Kali Kalam, people commit harakiri, who are we stop? If we try, we will be asked to mind our own business and stop being a nuisance.
