For the purposes of birth registration, the mother is deemed to be the woman who gives birth to the child, unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction prior to the filing of the birth certificate. If the mother was married at the time of either conception or birth, or at any time between conception and birth, the name of the husband must be entered on the birth certificate as the father of the child, unless paternity has been determined otherwise by a court of competent jurisdiction.
