Congratulations for being the third person to ask that.
Double congratulations for being the lucky one that I respond to.
-- because the mere fact that the woman is pregnant can be rightfully assumed to be because of the husband -- and if it's not, he, as a matter of public policy has the right to know for his health amongst other moral reasons which might elude you.
And of course, we're talking about pregnancy in a marriage, not STD's. STD's were a side issue that reinforced the primary argument. Let's not shift the scope too much or this could go on forever.
