This depends on a number of factors such as:

Which country the birth occurred in?
Nationality of the mother?
Immigration status while in the country where the birth occurred?
Does the mother want the child to have her citizenship?

In the US for instance, the nationality of the mother and her married state have nothing to do with the child's nationality. The baby would be a US Citizen. However, the mother might decide to register the birth as a foreign birth abroad and not claim US citizenship for the child.

Other countries like Germany make it very difficult to get citizenship even if the child was born in Germany.
