Dear Raj Kumar,
Lets stick to what matters. I dont understand why you are trying so hard to justify yourself. If you feel that you did the right thing, then why these efforts to justify your points.
In my opinion and understanding of the law, I know that no where its mentioned that only a married woman can get maternity benefit. My point is - married or not, she is still pregant... pregnancy is what law talks abt ... I dont know if labour laws anywhere talk abt marriage. If yes, kindly enlighten me...
And abt the dates for maternity leave – obviously you can't have any period between the 9 months gap as “maternity off”… it matters to be close to the date!!!
…. Back to square one – lets stick to the topic!

As all have read and stressed again by the senior members Maternity Benefit is applicable irrespective of the Marital Status. The child being born to a single unmarried mother needs the same care and concern as one who is married, this does not change.
Having said that in the society we will in , we all know how children and ladies are looked down upon when such things happen. Personally this should not happen as we dont know each ones situation and the circumstance as to why something happened but we can't change everyone. Best is to avoid our child from any such malice and harsh situation by taking precaution and give each child a healthy and safe environment to live.

Hi all
Since an unmarried women would like to have a child and is pregnant, is a strange and a rare issue in India and its culture, the people who had framed the Act had not thought of an inclusions of such nature of action in the MB Act, They have framed the Act and enacted it as per the Indian culture.
Since in the said ACT for WOMEN who is eligible for MB benefits, thank god they have not mentioned whether a married women or unmarried is eligible was mentioned specifically. Hence any women who is pregnant and is working in an organisation / establishment / industry / company / shops / factory and completed a period of 80 working days in the said firm is eligible to claim maternity benefits as per the Act in force.
Since the law is silent on the aspect of a married women or unmarried women in the act for eligibility of maternity benefits, under benefit of doubt a unmarried women is eligible to claim maternity benefits.

Hi ,
I am amused by the question u asked , as far as i know there is no law in india where u can get the benifits, but in western countries like UK u can be benifitted from this as this case is releated to single mother she is eligible for all the benifits and it includes the clind welfare benefit also. if the mother is sick after her delivery the govt will pay her money for herself and her child care.
