In only the seventh known case of its kind in the world, twins born in the north of Poland were conceived by two different fathers.

The mother of the twins got pregnant after she was having sex with her husband and her lover - though not at exactly the same time.

After giving birth to twins, a boy and a girl, the woman filed for divorce and accused her husband of denying fatherhood so that her lover would have to recognize the twins as his own and pay for their upkeep.

However, DNA tests show that the husband was the father of the baby boy, while the lover was the father of the baby girl.

“It’s only the seventh such case in the world. Such rare cases are possible when an ovulating woman produces two eggs and has sex with two partners in a short period of time,” says Doctor Piotr Koziol from Forensic Medicine Institute in Lublin who conducted the DNA tests.

The local media has learned that the woman is now living with both twins and her lover. (mg/pg)
