Woman shocks internet, promises divorce if husband conducts DNA test on their newborn baby
A Nigerian woman has sparked a heated debate online with her controversial statement, declaring she would divorce her husband if he conducted a DNA test on their child immediately after delivery.
The lady shared her views on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, in response to a man’s post detailing how he performed a DNA test on his daughter shortly after her birth.
Woman vows to divorce if husband conducts DNA test on newborn.
Quoting the post, she expressed strong opinions on trust and the foundation of relationships.
According to her, relationships should be rooted in trust, and she would never tolerate being with a man who felt the need to confirm paternity immediately after childbirth.
Her statement read: “If I find out my husband did a DNA test after I just pushed a baby out, I’m leaving the hospital with my child and serving divorce papers.”
She went on to address the argument about baby swapping in hospitals: “And for those saying babies are swapped at hospitals, yes, we know that. But before running the test, you should inform your wife.Doing such a test secretly only translates to accusing her of infidelity.”
The lady further explained that suspicion in a relationship should be a dealbreaker:
“If you feel suspicious about your wife cheating on you, just leave. Don’t inflict pain on yourself for life. You can’t be walking on eggshells with your life partner. If your immediate instinct is to run a DNA test after your wife just gave birth, then you shouldn’t be married to that person at all.”
Finally, she added: “Whether you like it or not, you’d continue doubting that person for the rest of your life. God forbid I’m with a man who thinks I’d be so wicked as to let him father another man’s child.”
Her post has since garnered mixed reactions, with some agreeing with her stance on trust while others argued the importance of paternity testing for peace of mind.
See some reactions below:
@amzee_stores: “yeah it’s weird, cause why are you doing that immediately your wife just gave birth? but what do you think is a better approach to things like this ?”
@Opluisteren: “If the baby was taken away from you for a certain time, I think it’s ok cause babies can be switched at birth accidentally or on purpose.”
@Themba_Wolfie: “Understandably so, I wouldn’t blame you. But after seeing our brothers, cousins, friends, and neighbors raising kids that aren’t their own. Ngeke, that DNA test needs to be done. If it means you leaving, then so be it. As long as we co-parent great.”
@ShianthiEstrada: “Idk why men are crying on your mentions. I agree that they have all the right to make the paternaty test but you also have all the right to leave if you dont feel respected. If they think their wife are unfaithful, what are you doing with them?”
@Chimaizuobi: “Ladies need to understand that we do DNA test to avoid our babies getting swapped in the hospital.”
@HueyTV_: “That’s a childish/selfish reaction to a sensible and secure decision. I can trust someone and still want confirmation simultaneously.”
