After each of his four wives claimed motherhood of one of his 24 kids, an Egyptian farmer resorted to lab technology to know the truth.  

Radwan Ali needed the name of the mother so that he could register Sameh at school, but he could not remember which one she was, the Cairo-based Middle East reported, citing a report published by Al Gomhuria Arabic daily. 

However, all four wives claimed to be the mom, and the boy himself was not cooperative, or was simply too naïve as he told his father he had four mothers. 

He decided to choose one at random, but the jealous women came to blows and two needed hospital treatment.  

Helpless Radawan asked for a court order to get blood tests for all his wives. 

The boy proved to belong to his second wife. When the verdict was issued by the Alexandria Court the woman started to belly dance in the courtroom to show her happiness. Sameh reportedly said he is disappointed to know he has only one mother – Albawaba.com
