China – A man has been left confused as DNA test of his twin babies revealed that they are from two different fathers.
A Chinese man (not the one pictured) was left stunned as he
discovered that his infant twins have two fathers.
A Chinese man is left
stunned after finding out that his twin babies have two fathers.
The parent, who remains unidentified, made the shocking discovery after taking
the newborns to undergo a DNA test as part of the standard procedure to
register their births in China, a DNA analyst told reporters.
The man was astounded upon receiving the test results which indicated that his
wife also had sex with someone other than him, Chinese media report.
Deng Yajun, the practitioner who produced the paternity report, said that the
chance for such case to happen is one in 10 million.
‘First, the mother
needs to produce two eggs instead of one in the same month [to have twins],’ Ms Deng, who is also the director of
Beijing Zhongzheng Forensic Identification Centre, explained to China News
Weekly.
‘Second, she needs to have intercourse with two men in really short space of
time to make it possible.
‘The results showed that the children have the same mother but not the same
father. They have at least two fathers,’ Ms Deng suggested.
Twins being born with different fathers is an extremely rare occurrence known
as heteropaternal superfecundation.
Women usually have to have sex with two different men within a day before or
after ovulation for both eggs to be fertilised.
Similar stories have
been reported in China before as another Chinese mother was forced to admit
that she had cheated on her husband in a one-night stand after receiving the
DNA results last year.
It came after the couple from south-eastern China’s Xiamen city went to
register the birth of their twin sons at the local police station in 2019.
In order to complete the registration, they had to produce the results of a
paternity test to prove that the babies were theirs.
The husband, known by
his alias Xiaolong, had wondered why one of his sons didn’t look like him at
all.
The director from the Fujian Zhengtai Forensic Identification Centre said that
Xiaolong was furious after reading the DNA report and confronted his wife.
It is said that his wife initially denied having an affair and accused her
husband of falsifying the results.
Xiaolong further interrogated his wife, who then admitted that she had slept
with another guy and that it was a one-night stand.
The father said he was happy to raise his own child, but not the one from
someone else, according to the report.
