Abstract

The article looks at the use of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) testing to verify the legitimacy of the marriage of couples suspected to be siblings by the Australian Department of Home Affairs. Topics discussed include the lack of legislation that allow DNA testing for immigration, denial of the visa application of Egyptian Genet Abebe, wife of Australian citizen Daniel Tadese, due to the DNA testing results, and role of outdated DNA technology in the false positive results of the test.
