Re: Birth Control

It is too early for you to give these kind of thoughts. On the contrary you may need to give more space to your wife and treat her with love and respect.

Before asking for DNA test, you have to be pretty sure of your allegations.

Your entire thinking and behaviour amounts to "cruelty" against your wife punishable u/s 498-A of Indian Penal Code. Besides, it also amounts to "domestic Violence" under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act.

It is a highly emotional issue and you need to handle it with maturity. You should be happy and feel proud on becoming father of a child and learn to treat your wife with love and respect more particularly during this most difficult period of her life.

Advice : You may consider apologizing to your wife for your past behaviour and unreasonable doubts; give her love and respect; celebrate the new development and try to make a happy married life. Try to be a MAN my friend; You are no more a Momma's kid-boy. Your whole life is ahead. This is not only more and social issue but also legal. If you try to avoid your legal obligations arising from marriage, you may be ruining your life in police and courts.
