Maternity leave and marital status
Maternity leave and marriage have no connection. There is nothing in the Act that states only married women are eligible for maternity leave. The same applies to remarriage as well. If we follow the verdict, a woman employee will receive maternity benefits "under each marriage."
At the same time, the law states that a woman employee with two surviving children is eligible for 26 weeks of leave. If the employee has more than two surviving children, she will also receive leave, but it will be for 12 weeks. This means the number of surviving children determines the amount of maternity leave an employee is eligible for, not the marital status.
