Dear PAO,

Can legitimation be impugned? My friend recently got legitimated following the marriage of her parents. She said that she went through all the process and was really happy that she can finally be called a legitimate child after so many years of having an illegitimate status since her parents were not married at the time she was born. Now, it seems that she has relatives who are not pleased with her getting legitimated and she is worried that it may be questioned. We have only read about legitimacy being impugned but not as regards legitimation. Can legitimation be impugned or questioned? I hope you can enlighten us.
