The day that Lukwago found out that his girlfriend Nassali was married, was the day she informed him that she was pregnant. In his delight, he proposed and started planning for kukyala only to be informed that it would not be possible since she was already married. When the twins were born, Lukwago was blocked on WhatsApp, Facebook and even the security guard refused to allow him to visit. But Lukwago is convinced that the twins are his and he wants to know how to prove it.
CAN LUKWAGO FIND OUT IF THE TWINS ARE HIS?
By law, a parent, a guardian or even a child him/herself can request for a court to declare who the parent of the child is. This is called a declaration of parentage.
If you are not the parent, (but suspect it), or if you asked nicely and the parent of the child refused to go for a test with you, then you can go to court and ask for a declaration of parentage. As part of this, the court may order for the DNA test to prove who the parent is, if the other available evidence does not remove the doubts.
Only the registered parents can go for DNA tests without a court order or the permission of the legally recognised parent. Even if you suspect you are the parent but you are not listed as such on the birth certificate of the child, then you have no right to take the children for this DNA test without the consent of the parent (who is legally recognised).
