Article 94 — Article (94) Hearing Accusation of Adultery Case

Chapter Six: Lineage

1. If a case of accusation of adultery is filed to deny the child’s paternity, the court shall consider it after conducting a DNA test based on a court order, if the woman agrees to conduct it. 2. If the woman does not agree to conduct a DNA test, the court shall proceed with the accusation of adultery case without it. 3. The accusation of adultery to deny the child’s lineage shall be performed before the court in accordance with the formula prescribed by Sharia. If the man swears the oaths of accusation of adultery and the woman refuses to perform it, the court shall rule without her oaths. 4. The result of the accusation of adultery is the denial of the child’s lineage. The child’s lineage shall be established -even after a ruling denying it- if the man withdrew his accusation, any later child’s lineage denial afterwards shall not be accepted.
