What if twas a case of switched at birth

Let DNA decides the 'What If'

One thing I hate is meddling into people's private matters but the thing to consider is the child affairs if you divide your friend from the mum how do you expect the child to cope
People are wicked sha!!!

MadeINchenzen2:
Paternity fraud is not a new trend with today's women, each time I see my friend and his kids I see the odd differences between his son and the rest of the kids... The boy doesn't look like his siblings or parents. Do I tell him to run a paternity check? Or I just mind my business?


What do you think? Suggestions and advice are welcomed, feel free to insult the OP if you can't help it. Thanks

U re the father of that bast@rd

You forget the details of your friend's marriage such as whether he married his wife in customary court— traditional marriage Laws — or at the registry.

SIMPonPatrol:
According to African culture a child born under a man's roof is automatically his child, you guys need to stop disturbing yourselves with this DNA test nonsense

Which African Culture in particular?

And that would only apply if they got married under native Law and Custom and not under Common Law and the Marriage Act.

If they did both, and there is a conflict of laws, then the Marriage Act will take precedence.

Scholace:
a child born under a man's roof automatically belong to the child. If the child is grown,no one can lay claim on such child in the law court.

That's not what we are saying here, we are suspecting infidelity here, and that's not safe for the man. Let DNA decide

Hhmm I will suggest don't tell him because trouble will burst and you may be shock after trelling him and he tells you straight he is aware of it then the shame will be massive on you.

Which African useless culture? As a full-fledged Yoruba man....we have a popular saying... Ile ti o n ba toro, Omo ale ibe oti d'agba. My people strong frown against paternity fraud.

He is actually very right. Traditional marriage laws which most Nigerians hold on to make allowance for what you now consider paternity fraud in marriage. So long as people continue to cling to traditional marriage, they accept it as part and parcel of their particular marriage agreement.

Scholace:
where is the evidence that you're the biological child of your father?

see if u don't get out of my mention ee...seems something is wrong with u

may ur wife give u a child dat is not urs

So long as the marriage was bound under customary laws in Nigeria, that is exactly the situation.

ExudeLoveToAll:
■ African culture when it suits your narrative, do you do why African culture says? Example like those who are from South Eastern region of Nigeria, when a man dies only his male children are entitled to inherit his properties, you won't see that and support it because it's African culture. Some other climes kill people in order to bury their kings and give him a send forth to great beyond that isn't an African culture to you? Numerous examples around where you will never accept it because it is African culture....

What the one you responded to said is the case with customary law in Nigeria. Has been that way since the time of your fathers and remains the case for all married under customary law. Typically, It is Nigerian men who prefer traditional marriage over registry marriage given the polygamous benefit, not realizing they equally accept what they now consider paternity fraud by it.

Kids get their genes from their 4 grandparents (about 25% each). In other words, 50% from their father's side and another 50% from their mother's side. Nobody in the world understands how these genes combine to form a new human.

If you share the same feature with your parents, then you are simply an exemption. That's not the norm for everyone.

U are not well. Quote me and kpeme.

He is actually very very correct. Customary/Traditional Marriage laws in Nigeria have almost always allowed for paternity fraud in marriage. Your ancestors designed it that.

Mind your business. Nothing concern you

All these stories are fake. They are penned by the mods doing that guy’s bidding. One can’t convince me otherwise.

Ashirioluwa:
■ That African culture is not for my home.

What he described is customary Law in most all of Nigeria. So if you choose to be married under Traditional marriage laws, that is what you accept as part of the agreement.

CuriousX:
■ Which Africa are you talking about? Definitely not the one I am currently living in

The same African traditional marriage laws that allow men to engage in polygamous unions is the very same one that allows the woman bring children from outside into the marriage. Your ancestors designed it that way.

Kare omo yoruba to ginadeoko.... However, I guess they practice that in yoruba culture back then because they need more hands at the farm anyways so any child born under his roof is his but again omo ale lo ko ti ile danu....

The same African traditional marriage laws that allow men to engage in polygamous unions is the very same one that allows the woman bring children from outside into the marriage. Your ancestors designed it that way.

How can you observe it but he can't. Are you saying your friend is that blind/foolish that he hasn't noticed the child doesn't carry any of his traits and his wife's?
Also what if he's already noticed and secretly done the DNA test and the child belongs to him?

These are the questions you should ask yourself. I bet if you have asked yourself these questions you would know you are out of place to talk him about this.

You don't get to make the law for yourself. The same Nigerian traditional marriage laws that allow men to engage in polygamous unions are the very same one that allows the woman to bring children from outside into the marriage. Your ancestors designed it that way. If you do not want to accept the agreement according to your ancestors, the simple solution is not to be married in the customary courts but under the National marriage act.

There's no laws or custom in yoruba that allows for married women to engage in adultery talk more of bringing children into her marriage but people engage in it howbeit secretly before they are found out oftentimes through legal "instruments" of the yoruba custom so that does not then mean that because some "omo-ale" yoruba do it that yoruba custom permits it even just by what it's called you'll understand that yorubas abhor it.

It's really unfair to raise a child that's not yours without knowing so from the get go.....the "noth knowing" is the deal breaker for me personally if not there's nothing bad in raising a child that's not yours even if the child is your wife's ....I need to know

May all your children born under your roof be the offspring of different men

Before you decide to destroy your friends family and cause serious issues to not only them but your self too, pls read about this - "scientists at the University of South Wales observed an instance of telegony – physical traits of previous sexual partners being passed down to future children.

The researchers found that, for fruit flies, the size of the offspring matched the size of the first male the mother mated with – not its biological father. It is thought that molecules of the semen produced by the first partner might be absorbed by the mother’s immature eggs".

This research shows that when a woman has had unprotected sex with a couple of sexual partners in the past, deposits from the semen may actually make the baby look like one of her ex or ex's relative.

Even if this is not the case or not possible, there are some other factors that may make a baby not resemble the parents.

Either way, i dont think you should be meddling in your friends family matters. If he feels the child aint his, DNA test is there, and you are not the one to tell him to take it.
