Magistrate may make an order on father

(1) If the application is made after the birth of a child born to a single woman, on the appearance of the person so 53 summoned, or on proof that the summons was duly served on such person or left at his place of abode or workplace at least four days before the day upon which he has been summoned to appear, the magistrate shall hear the evidence of the woman, and such other evidence as she may produce, and shall also hear any evidence by or on behalf of the person alleged to be the father. (2) If the evidence of the mother is corroborated in some material particular by other evidence to the satisfaction of the magistrate, he may adjudge the man to be the father of the child born out of wedlock, and may also, if he sees fit, having regard to all the circumstances of the case, order the father to pay to the mother of the child born out of wedlock, or to any person who may be appointed to have the custody of such child, a weekly sum for the maintenance and education of the said child, and of the expenses incidental to the birth of such, and of the funeral expenses of the child, if it has died before the making of such order, and of such costs as may have been incurred in the obtaining of such order. (3) If the application is made before the birth of the child, such weekly sum may, if the magistrate thinks fit, be calculated from the birth of the child. (4) The court may also make an order for the funeral expenses of the child if the child has died before the making of the order. (5) If the court thinks fit, it may, in place of a weekly payment, order that a lump sum determined by the court be paid into court and that the sum shall be expended on the maintenance of the child.
