Reality star, Doyin, emphasizes that while the request for a DNA test from a partner may be painful, it shouldn't spark conflict between couples. She points out the rising prevalence of paternity fraud cases, which has prompted many to advocate for mandatory DNA testing immediately after birth.
Debates have ensued regarding the ethical implications of requesting a DNA test from one's partner.
Addressing this issue on Instagram, Doyin asserts that given the surge in paternity fraud cases, it's not unreasonable for a partner to request a DNA test. She emphasizes the importance of allowing the partner to make an informed decision about caring for a child, particularly if there's doubt about paternity.
In her words:
“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.”
