Islamic rules regarding paternity testing for married rape victim who becomes pregnant?

Question

In current Islamic scholarly opinion, if a married woman is raped and subsequently becomes pregnant - and the time of conception does not clearly indicate whether her husband or the rapist is the biological father - is the child assumed to be that of her husband or is she expected to undergo genetic paternity testing to be sure?

(Assuming the test is not necessary for the prosecution of her attacker.)

Thanks!

If the husband is in suspicion about the fatherhood, he can go for any test, I assume.

To get a scholarly opinion... you'd have to ask scholars.
There was no paternity testing back in the old days. Now that there is... she'd get a test to be sure.

Anyway....If she's married and following the rules of Islam, for example dressing modest, traveling with a mehram, etc... the chances of her getting raped are unlikely.

I believe they just stone her to death.
Her attacker probably gets a handshake and first throw of the stone (and lots of love and virgins from Allah)
