What is the evidentiary value of having a child in a marriage?

Canada (Federal), Canada

The following excerpt is from Ogieva v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2012 CanLII 35060 (CA IRB):

I am prepared to accept for the sake of this appeal that the appellant and applicant had a child together in 1998. However, the jurisprudence is quite clear that while it is persuasive evidence, the birth of a child in the marriage is not determinative of the issue of marriage genuineness. As held in another IAD decision that addressed the evidentiary value of a child in establishing genuineness, Mansro v. Minister of Citizenship and Immigration:[6] Typically the existence of a child of a marriage is an important factor which must be considered, and would be indicative of a relationship of some substance. However, the existence of a child of the marriage is not determinative of the genuineness of the marriage.
