by Anuradha Agarwal    July 12, 2008

According to British Government's Office for National Statistics 49.4% children of English mother in UK born outside marriage. The figure was 38.7% in 1996. This development  threatens UK’s social life.

In contrast to this figure, only one child out of 50 children born outside marriage to Indian mother who migrated to UK and almost all children born to Pakistani mothers are from wedding.

Office for National Statistics figure also suggested that one out of every four children was born to Non English mother in UK.

Experts fear that the children who born out side the marriage may show poor performance at school and are more prone to ill health.
