What are Legal & Court Approved Paternity DNA tests? How to get one in India?
What makes the DNA useful for a paternity test?
But things may get a little complicated in case of disputes and legal matters. When the paternity DNA test is required for evidence in a legal matter, a legal paternity DNA test is required.
Why is it so?
Let us first understand what is the basis for a paternity test and find the answers along the way.
DNA is the main genetic material of human beings. A person’s DNA, be it the father or the mother, is transferred into his/her offspring. A child gets his DNA equally from the father and the mother. A DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) contains billions of nitrogen base pairs. The sequence in which the base pairs are arranged, serve as the markers for a test. When the DNA samples of both the father and the child are studied, they resemble in the arrangements of the base pairs, confirming the biological relationship of the child to the father. A match of the DNAs confirms the paternity, while a mismatch proves that the child and the alleged father are not related to each other biologically.
What is the process involved in a legal paternity DNA test?
If you are ordered for a legal Paternity DNA test by the court, you have to request the court to get the test from DNA Forensics Laboratory.
The next step is the sample collection. The DNA samples of the involved parties are collected in the court in front of the judge. The court may appoint a representative to supervise the DNA sample collection outside of court.
The samples collected are sent for testing, and the test reports are sent directly to the hearing judge for maintaining the discretion of the test.
Under no circumstances the report of a Legal DNA test are disclosed to the parties.
