I'm not sure how you're comparing adultery to rape. When a man rapes a woman, he typically leaves behind his own DNA in the form of semen. That DNA is the only DNA the government has access to. Contrary to what everyone here is saying, the government does not have access to the relative's DNA at all. The phrasing was not intentionally bizarre. If you rape someone, then you consent to have your DNA examined by authorities so that they can catch you and put you in jail. The irony in having to defend the idea of needing consent from a rapist has apparently escaped Hacker News's hive mind.
