In order to determine paternity and register paternity of minors born, among other things, within the framework of the graded procedure and before marriage, it is necessary to appear with the minor for a genetic test in which a sample will be taken from both parents by court order to examine the minor’s paternity. However, the question arises as to whether paternity can be determined by a court without a tissue test. This article will answer this question.
The customary law
Although both parties (mother and father) agree and declare paternity of a minor, this is not enough and proof of paternity is required. The courts ruled that the tissue test is conclusive evidence for determining paternity and as long as there is no fear of bastards and neither party has any evidence and / or document that would allow paternity determination in an alternative way, instead of genetic testing, we would have external evidence.
legal representation
Parents often encounter closed-minded officials with requests from the Ministry of the Interior to register paternity of minors. For this purpose, it is recommended to consult with lawyers who specialize in paternity testing and registration of paternity at the Ministry of the Interior.
