The Delhi High Court ruled that a DNA test can confirm paternity but not prove rape without clear evidence of non-consent. A man’s rape conviction was overturned as the relationship was possibly consensual.
The father of the Mandsaur gang rape victim felt sad after the Supreme Court stopped the death sentence of the accused. He said his daughter did not get justice. Earlier, this case had shocked the whole country because of its cruelty. Now, the court’s decision has started a fresh debate on strict punishment for such crimes.
The Supreme Court of India addressed the balance between privacy and the quest for biological parentage in a case involving a man seeking paternity confirmation from his alleged biological father. The court upheld the presumption of legitimacy, noting privacy concerns and the potential harm from forced DNA tests, ultimately concluding the man remains the legitimate son of his mother’s legal husband.
