Pаrt III (20%) Shоuld cоmmоn-lаw mаrriage continue to be recognized in 2026? Take a position and support it using case law and policy claims. 

A mаrried wоmаn hаs an affair with a man withоut her husband ever finding оut. For a period of time, she has consensual sex with both of them. She becomes pregnant and genuinely does not know who the father is, and she never tries to find out, even after her child, Elle, is born. She passes away in a tragic accident when Elle is 15. Elle and her father--the widower spouse, Bill--are still in grief when a strange man comes knocking on a door on Elle's 16th birthday saying he's her father, and couldn't hold it in any more now that the love of his life had passed. He wanted to establish a relationship with her. Elle thinks he's joking, but he produces paperwork showing a genetic test that he and Elle's mom took when Elle was only 6 months old. He says that Elle's Mom never wanted to know the truth, but he has known all along.  Bill says that if he thinks he's going to take Elle away from him, he had another think coming.  The man sues for filiation in family court. Bill enters as a respondent and says he is Elle's father. Which option below is not part of the reasoning that a court (accepting our common law doctrine as precedent) would most likely employ as reaching the outcome?
