In practice it is very rare that the mother of any child does not acknowledge her child. She will be the one who will go and declare its birth at the Civil Status Office. By this acknowledgement the maternal descent of the child is secured. But what of its paternal descent?

Explanation:
'condición civil' is not the same as 'estado civil', and should be translated in a different manner.

The latter equates to 'civil status', and (in many countries) offers the choice between 'single', 'married', 'divorced', 'widowed' - all of which have an impact on things like impediments to marriage, pensions rights, etc.

A person's 'condición civil' refers, inter alia (if not primarily), to their degree of legitimacy - i.e. born in or out of wedlock - and (in most countries) the legal impact of this 'condición' is different to that derived from civil status. For example, legitimate and illegitimate persons have the same right to marry, although their social status may affect their inheritance rights.
