Topic: DNA and paternity fraud - page 2. (Read 355 times)
I’m unsure if it’s an increasing trend. If anything, it should be decreasing due to the science advancements that enable DNA testing. Humans are like animals, you can’t control everybody, some people make unpredictable choices. If somebody is sleeping around & doesn’t know who the Father of their child is it just means they are a bad person. I don’t think as a whole it is increasing though.
There no way paternity fraud can totally be eradicated completely because most of our women now don't marry who dey love anymore and most of them marry because of the material things a man has and still sneaks out of the husbands house to meet the actual person they love and have sexual intercourse with them which can lead to pregnancy and in other for her to secure her marriage and continue to enjoy the wealth of the man they get married to, they claim to be pregnant for their prospective husband and leave it as a secret even till death and a lot them are aware of this that's why majority of our women don't buy the ideas of running a DNA test is being mentioned.
In this modern age a lot of things have changed, couples gets divorced over minor issues and faithfulness in marriages are becoming old school, people no longer adhere to the values of marriage, that is why a married person can be attracted to another person and go all out to have intimacy with them. Because of these trend a woman might not even know who the biological father of her child is because of multiple sex partners, and when the man starts to suspect, then he goes for DNA test to confirm.
For men who feel compelled to do DNA test to confirm the paternity of their child or children, out of respect for their partners should do so without her knowledge, if the result proofs that the child is not his, then he can confront her, if not, he'll let the matter to slide.

It is a great thing that there’s DNA test. I am trying to imagine what people would do if it weren’t there; how they would know that they have an unfaithful partner.
Prior to DNA testing, blood typing was the most reliable paternity test. Blood types are hereditary, so a child and parent having incompatible blood types can prove they're not really related. Unfortunately (well, fortunately for people needing blood transfusions), most blood types are common enough that having compatible blood types doesn't prove two people are related, so there was always uncertainty in such cases. 
I have read stories about this happening sure, but I am not sure how often this happens within your society specifically for you to have the impression this may be a problem which needs to be tackled in a wide level.
Do we even have statistics on how often these unfortunate things happen between partners?
One should not forget we live in a digital era, where anyone with a connection to the internet can type down and send whatever they please and see how many people will believe on those falsehoods.
But in case anyone of you actually feel like checking on the DNA of your children and compare them to yours, then I would recommend you to do it in secret, do not inform your spouse, because obvious reasons. Her reaction to you wanting to do with a thing could be very telling by itself, but it would be not worth it to go through anything negative without some paper in hand to confirm your fears.
I sincerely hope neither of you goes through anything like that, it must be very painful and life changing.

It is a great thing that there’s DNA test. I am trying to imagine what people would do if it weren’t there; how they would know that they have an unfaithful partner. It is really heartbreaking that someone has a partner for so many years, get married to them, and one day finds out that the child he’s put so much effort into raising isn’t his. What’s worse is when there are a lot of children but none is his. I’ve heard of a story where that was the case, and I can’t imagine how the man felt about such gruesome discover.
It's just obvious that it's greed and shame that are the key drivers of paternity fraud. A woman not calculating her mensural circle is not a solid reason, that is just mere speculations that it could be a cause but even if a woman does not know her child's father, DNA test is there to provide that. But the fact that most mothers do not want to be disgraced or term "pregnant out of wedlock" they do all there best to put someone else into debt for nothing.
The world has become a very wicked place and events like this are true examples of how wicked people can be in order to defraud you or even put you in a condition that isn't favourable. Some time ago I heard a woman said she forced her boyfriend to claim a child that isn't his because she felt the guy was the only one who can truly take care of she and her baby.

Since there is a means to go by in judging through the real owner of a child being born, we can always result for DNA test in doing that, but its such a pity that even in some areas where truth is far from being established in their endeavors, they will try to manipulate the DNA result and present a fake one through the influence of someone involved who is influential financially, truth is sometimes far away from any process we go through if we are not dealing with the right ones.
DNA can be conducted from multiple labs, this way it becomes impossible for any of the partners to temper with the result of the DNA, what you said can only happen when the test is carried out I just one hospital, most case will result to multiple results to avoid manipulation. Time have advanced and people are smarter a d well informed than before so for sure, any attempt to crest deceit will always be quickly noticed and such attempts are swept under the carpet.
You have repeated same statement in first two pointers and third pointers doesn't occur frequently or its rare. I think we cannot stop this and the only way is to eliminate the root cause and we should avoid getting into this dangerous multiple partner stuffs and even if they donot should be with protection. I am not sure how people will accept this but I would say if people stick to one partner like they do in most of the South Asian countries we wouldn't see these sort of issues and feeling of betrayal.
Three major causes of the high incidence of paternity fraud are
1: The woman having multiple partners: When a woman has sexual relationships with more than one partner within the same timeframe, this can lead to uncertainty about the biological father of the child conceived during this time.
2: The woman not understanding her menstrual cycle to accurately estimate the time of ovulation. Some women who have multiple partners and can't calculate their ovulation are not aware of who the father of their child is until a DNA test is done.
I think these two points are same, it's needless separating them. If a woman is faithful, whether she had sex during or after her ovulation, any pregnancy that arises from the sex will be a responsibility of the partner that she is faithful to.1: The woman having multiple partners: When a woman has sexual relationships with more than one partner within the same timeframe, this can lead to uncertainty about the biological father of the child conceived during this time.

What is the cost of conducting an effective DNA test and how many average citizens can afford it in your country. Manipulating the DNA test is a secondary case that can be tackled by conducting the test in a different environment alien to both partners.

Paternity fraud is increasingly becoming a trend these days. Every day, we wake up to different news about paternity fraud, which is becoming worrisome. Why would people be so wicked or careless to do that?

3: When a child is switched at birth.
People should desist from this because this act is harmful, and it has consequences like emotional pain for your partner, feelings of betrayal, and it also has a psychological impact on the child.
