Singapore - A woman is to receive child support payments from a former live-in boyfriend after a Singapore court said the man could not expect affidavits from the city-state's estimated other 2 million men that they did not sleep with her, The Straits Times said Friday.

The mother, 29, who was living with two men, got pregnant in 2005 and married one of the men thinking he was the father.

However, the man bailed out of the marriage after realizing he was not the father. The husband, 33, suspicious after finding out that the baby girl's blood type was different from his, took a DNA test proving the baby was not his.

The woman then tried to arrange for support payments from the other roommate, Irving Choh, a 28-year-old part-time student, but he refused and they went to court, fighting it out all the way to the High Court.

Choh refused to take the stand or a DNA test to confirm whether the child was his. Under Singaporean law, courts cannot compel anyone to take a DNA test.

While the woman maintained she only ever had sexual relationships with the two men, Choh claimed he never slept with her, and alleged she could have had multiple sex partners during the time they were living together.

"You want affidavits from two million other men to say that they did not sleep with her?" judge Lee Seiu Kin asked.

He said the woman's testimony was "unshakeable" and concluded that Choh was the child's biological father. (dpa)
