Female (Non-marital child)

“Non-marital child” : A neutral but legally acceptable expression,
“Illegitimate” is legally correct, although in every day use, it may be seen to have slightly derogatory connotations, so some people prefer an alternative phrase.

Reference:

extra-marital child

Use of the term "illegitimate child" is now rare, even in legal contexts. It has been stricken from passports and legal documents as needlessly insulting and stigmatizing to the child. Terms such as "extra-marital child", "love child" and "child born out of wedlock" are more commonly used.
