Priest is the father, court says

THE Supreme Court has confirmed that a priest is the father of the child of a married woman.

In 2009, based on tests carried out at the Carlos Haya Hospital which proved the girl was not the child of her mother’s husband, and that there were a 94.45 per cent chance that the priest was her father, Malaga Provincial Court passed a sentence in which she was named as his heir.

However, this was appealed by his 11 nieces and nephews who until then had been his only heirs and had questioned the tests which were carried out.
