Edward, a Ghanaian man, has narrated a heartbreaking experience that he suffered at the hands of his wife and her family.

This happened during a discussion on the topic "Should paternity tests be mandatory at birth?" on JoyNews with Kojo Yankson and his crew.

According to Edward, he found out only 15 years after having a child with his legally married wife that the baby he thought was for both of them all through the years was actually for another man.

"15 years after having our child together, my wife came to me to convince me to send her to America because she will have a better life. I agreed and allowed her to send the child, thinking she will return soon. But I rather received a call from her mother, saying that my wife had relocated to join the real father of the child in the US," Edward said.

Edward says it has been three years since that incident, but he is yet to recover fully from the shock.
