Abstract

This qualitative-phenomenological study investigated the experiences of children born outside of marriage. The Snowball sampling technique was utilized in selecting the 10 participants. A structured interview script was developed to gather the information. Results revealed that the challenges encountered by children born outside of marriage include discrimination, social stigma, difficulty, and abandonment. Moreover, their coping strategies included forgiveness, a positive mindset, and determination. Furthermore, for their voices to be heard, they proposed that the government may provide them with counselling, implement the No Discrimination Law, and provide free education. Finally, the significant experience that they could share included forgiveness, resentment, a sense of responsibility, and resilience
