Primary text
If a man claims a boy in the possession of a woman is his son by her, but she denies it and claims he is her son by her husband, he is affiliated with both claimants. This is analogous to the situation where an adult male is claimed by two men, and one confirms the claim.

If the husband claims the boy is his son from someone other than her, and she claims he is her son by the husband, he is affiliated with both.
