Are you looking for a Divorce ?? because you not being a biological father will be an evidence and a ground for divorce. And also that you have not consummated the marriage in this instance. Let me know.

The rule of access an non access to wife were inserted in evidence Act at a time when medical evidences like that of DNA were non-existent. Now you can use DNA test for proving you are not the biological father despite having access to your wife.
