Art. 269. Only natural children can be legitimated. Children born outside wedlock of parents who, at the time of the conception of the former, were not disqualified by any impediment to marry each other, are natural.
DISCUSSION:
In effect only natural children, without need o recognition can be legitimated. The provision, which originated from the law of Toro. requiring recognition of the child in legitimation did not ind logical support. It is more logical to conclude that the marriage of the parents of the child is an indubitable demonstration o their recognition of such child as their own, assuming that there is compliance with the basic requisite that such child was conceived at the time when the parents did not suffer any impediment from marrying each other.
