Non Access
Legal definition for Indian law research
Definition
Non-access. When a husband could not, in the course of nature, by reason of his absence, have been the father of his wife's child, the child is a bastard.
Access is presumed during wedlock; but this presumption may be countered by proof of circumstances showing that sexual intercourse did not take place within such a time that the husband could be the father. As to what is such a time, see GESTATION. As to the admissibility of evidence by husband or wife of non-access, see ACCESS.
