Most women would be very hurt and insulted if their husband insisted on a paternity test. I know I would be.

Here, I'm not sure a married man even has a say in the matter. If you're married, the child is considered yours, and nobody but the mother signs the application for a birth certificate. The application is sent to the state capital and the Bureau of Vital Statistics issues the formal birth certificate.

One thing that could be done that would not be as disruptive to family life and insulting to the wife is if the law were changed to make a mandatory paternity test done on every child so that it was not a father's reflection of suspicion against his wife. But that opens another can of worms, introducing another intrusion upon privacy, and what if the test proved that the child was not the husband's? Maybe the husband would be better off not knowing? Maybe the mother and baby would be better off not knowing, too?
