“Let Him Test, Then Sue” – Lawyer Shares Advice for Wives Facing DNA Demands

A Nigerian lawyer has gone viral after sharing bold legal advice for women whose husbands demand DNA tests on their children. According to her, women should allow the test to proceed but take legal action if the results confirm paternity. She wrote: “If your husband threatens DNA tests on your children and you know they are his. Let him do it. Once it comes out positive, go straight to a lawyer. File a civil claim for breach of trust and ask for ₦100 million compensation. Marriage is not a testing ground for suspicion. Let him test. Let him confirm. But don’t let him get away with breaking your trust. Case closed. No room for appeal.” Her advice has sparked widespread discussion online, with many praising her for empowering women to assert their rights while maintaining dignity in challenging situations.
