Prince Yaw Gharbin, a doctoral researcher at the University of Luxembourg, has called for the implementation of mandatory DNA testing for every baby born in Ghana before the child is officially named.
Prince emphasised the need for this measure to prevent future paternity disputes and ensure accurate parentage information from the get-go.
In an interview on TV3, he highlighted the prevalence of cases where men, having cared for children they believed to be theirs, later discovered they were not the biological fathers.

"I believe that DNA test should be mandatory and it should be added to the constitution of Ghana that after the birth of every child, a DNA test must be conducted before the child is given a name."
He stressed the importance of men taking care of women who claim they have impregnated them until a DNA test is conducted to confirm parentage.
“Men should just make sure that the kids that they are spending money on, spending time with and doing everything for belongs to them.”
The proposal aims to address issues related to paternity uncertainty and ensure the accuracy of familial relationships.
By implementing mandatory DNA testing, Prince envisions a system that promotes transparency and helps prevent potential legal and emotional challenges arising from paternity disputes.
