ABSTRACT The openness of Indonesia for international activities and association has brought certain impacts on social relationship in term of family relationship, particularly on marriage. Batam lies on a strategic location in the international shipping passageway. It has caused quite many mixed marriages in its society. The presence of a child in a mixed marriage has a significant meaning. In reality, the presence of a child in a marriage does not necessarily mean happiness. It usually happens to an illegitimate child. He/she needs to be recognized by his/her parents regarding all consequences in inheritance, citizenship, custody, and so on. Recognition does not directly turn an illegitimate child into a legitimate one. He/she becomes a legitimate child when his/her parents solemnize their marriage. Keywords: Recognition, Validation, an Illegitimate Child from a Husband and Wife with Different Citizenships
