Eva Peron or by the affectionate Spanish language diminutive Evita, was born out of wedlock. The family was stigmatized by the abandonment of the father, especially since Argentine law frowned upon illegitimate children. Eva allegedly destroyed her birth certificate in 1945 so as to erase this part of her past.
Eva's autobiography, La Razón de mi Vida, contains no dates or references to childhood occurrences, and does not list the location of her birth or her name at birth. It is believed that in 1945 the adult Eva Perón created a forgery of her birth certificate for her marriage.
