However, there's provision to change the name. Many go by the name of the mother, later on. (with mixed parentage)Probably the legal people who drafted the act thought how could you change the race... The DNA cannot be changed. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/oo.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":oo:" title="Oo    :oo:" data-shortname=":oo:" />But most probably by the time your children are born, hopefully, the things like "race, religion or whether the parents are legally married" will NOT be included in the Birth Certficates of the future.PS: Under the Citizenship Act the Nationality gets determined by one's father. If at the time of someone's birth, the father holds SriLankan Citizenship, then you inherit SriLankan Citizenship. Note - the mother could be anyone holding any Nationality.</blockquote>
