“The burden is upon the woman to establish the paternity of the child and to show that the person from whom she claims maintenance for the child is the father of the child. It is prima facie improper to accept without corroboration mere statement on oath by the mother who asserted that the opposite party is the father of the child. The evidence of the wife shall be corroborated either by direct or some circumstanced evidence to establish that during the period when the wife and the alleged father had some access to each other.”
(Hon'ble Justice in Ummini Kunjuraman V/s. Meenakshi Syamala, AIR 1970 Madras L.J.573)
