Men aren’t emotionally fortified to handle their wives’ adultery; it carries strong connotations of shame, ridicule and emasculation. In some societies, a man whose wife cheats is deemed sexually weak, powerless and unworthy of respect. Men cannot comprehend a wife who cheats, gets pregnant, deceives them on paternity, continues to deliver the baby and bring it into a man’s brood.

A father and son bonding. Biological paternity may not negate social and emotional fatherhood.
