In this age of increasing fluidity in human sexual relationships and the breakdown of old norms regarding marriage and childbearing, it is increasingly important to be aware of the issue of paternity and all that it entails.

Identifying a child’s mother is easy enough, but establishing with certainty who the biological father is may be much trickier, given that the only obvious “evidence” of paternity is the mother’s statement and the supposed father’s presumption. Modern technology, however, has enabled people to scientifically establish–usually based on DNA–paternity.

This has obvious legal consequences, since if a woman who gave birth to a child is married, the spouse is legally presumed to be the biological father, and a scientific paternity test is the only legal way for any contenders to prove otherwise and gain paternity rights.

But it may also have emotional benefits–knowing with certainty who the father of a child is may bring the father and child closer together, and it may get rid of any doubts about the spouses’ fidelity toward each other.
