NewzA woman seeking S$1 million in child support from an alleged father has been denied a court-ordered DNA paternity test in Singapore. The presiding judge ruled that while the court possesses the authority to mandate such testing, the request must be supported by sufficient evidence rather than relying solely on unsubstantiated allegations.
The ruling emphasizes the legal threshold required to compel an individual to undergo a paternity test. By rejecting the request, the court maintained that bare allegations are insufficient to justify the intrusion of a court-ordered medical examination, requiring the plaintiff to provide a stronger evidentiary basis to proceed with her claim.
