    Area of Science:

    • Forensic Medicine
    • Andrology
    • Reproductive Medicine

    Background:

    • Paternity and denial of paternity suits involve complex legal and medical evaluations.
    • Assessing male fertility in legal contexts requires careful consideration of sperm parameters and historical data.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the prevalence of male sterility in paternity and denial of paternity legal cases.
    • To evaluate the challenges faced by court experts in determining past male fertility.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 350 court expertises in paternity suits.
    • Retrospective analysis of 98 court expertises in denial of paternity suits.
    • Review of spermiologic examination results and legal case details.

    Main Results:

    • Male sterility was confirmed in approximately 10% of paternity suits.
    • In denial of paternity cases, over one-third of men were found to be sterile.
    • About half of men in denial of paternity cases were divorced or divorcing, with one-third alleging infidelity.

    Conclusions:

    • Male infertility is less prevalent in these legal cases than often assumed.
    • Court experts face significant challenges in assessing past fertility, especially with fluctuating and poor sperm quality.
    • The study highlights the need for accurate and consistent spermiologic evaluations in legal proceedings.
