Paternity tests are becoming increasingly common in China along with casual sex as suspicious husbands check on their wives' fidelity, a news agency says.

Applications for the DNA test, which in the West can cost hundreds of dollars, had risen 20 percent a year in one Beijing hospital, the state-run China News Service said.

It said there had already been 200 tests at the hospital by mid-September and there would have been many more if the cost were not so high.
