Abstract:
Can you even imagine the utmost horror of a supposedly loving father discovering accidentally that a child he nurtured from childhood as his own eventually turns out not to be his biological child? He never knew, never suspected nor did it ever cross his mind that his caring wife might have a dark secret! But when the need to prove the ownership of the child arose, the clear and true picture became obvious. The child is not the product of the presentunion, but the product of some other union. Who then are the child’s true parents?
