Jersey's parenting laws could be changed so children born out of wedlock are no longer considered "illegitimate".
Home Affairs Minister Deputy Mary Le Hegarat said in a proposition about half of all children in the island were born to unmarried parents.
Currently, only children born to a mixed-sex couple who are married are considered "legitimate".
Despite recent changes to the marriage laws, children born to a couple in a civil partnership are still regarded as illegitimate.
