FREE Catholic Classes
A judge from New Jersey made a ruling in paternity case involving a set of twins, last year. This particular case is receiving extra attention, as the twins have different fathers. The judge ruled that the father the twins' mother sought child support from only has to provide for one of the two children.

MUNTINLUPA, PHILIPPINES (Catholic Online) - A DNA test revealed that one man was almost certainly the father of one of the children, but wasn't the father to the other. The possibility is nearly one in a million for a woman to give birth to twins with different fathers.
Every month, a woman's ovary releases one egg to be fertilized by one sperm. But in this very weird case apparently, a pair of eggs emerged.
According to Passaic County Superior Court Judge Sohail Mohammed's opinion which he wrote, he learned there are two other legal cases nationally on the same matter.
Scientifically speaking, this particular event can occur when a woman engages in sexual intercourse with two different men in a period of the same menstrual cycle and two of her eggs become fertilized separately.
A similar case a few years ago emerged, when a Passaic County woman demanded for child support payments from a man she claimed was the father of her twins, one boy and one girl, who were born in January 2013.
In a court testimony, the mother disclosed that she had sexual contact with two men within a single week. After the DNA test was conducted, the judge ruled that the man should pay for child support, $28 per week.
