Reality TV personality Doyin claims that although requesting a DNA test can be unpleasant, it shouldn’t lead to conflict between partners.
Online users have frequently reported paternity fraud cases, and many have advocated for testing every child right away after delivery.
The question of whether it is appropriate to request a DNA test from a partner has also been discussed by many.
Speaking about the matter on Instagram, Doyin stated that given the current rise in paternity fraud in the nation, it is acceptable for a partner to request a DNA test.
According to her: “It’s not a bad thing for your partner to request for DNA test. If he wants to take care of a child that isn’t his, let it be his decision to do that intentionally not because he thinks he’s the father. The rate of paternity fraud is too high for you to think emotionally if your partner asks for a DNA test. It’s a painful request but it’s understandable.”
