Should extended family asked for a DNA test on a child

There's an ongoing drama going on online on the social me space. A grandfather is asking a daughter in-law to carry out a DNA test on his grandson. is this lawful being that the son accepted the child to be his when he was alive and there was no doubt at all.

If the grandfather has doubt, he may put forward such request. But I think that would hurt the feeling of his son and his wife.

Hmm
The wife should just go for the DNA if it is sure for her. Well, if I am the one, I will feel bad because they don’t trust me. Lack of trust makes me sad

Cases like this one happens when there is a property rights battle. Maybe the grandfather do not want to share property with the child

The extended family has the right to ask for a DNA test in Africa. That's because every child is an extension of the extended family.

In my country that we have a communal structure, a family member has the right to tell couples to go ford DNA tests.

I guess it depends on the situation. If there are reasons why the grandfather has doubt, then I guess he has the right to request this.
