In 1 Kings 3:16-27 there is a story of two prostitutes who appear before King Shlomo, each having a newborn baby. One of the babies died and there was a dispute as to which one. There were no witnesses to consult and so Shlomo employs his wisdom, by suggesting to cut the baby in half and give each half to one of the women, to discern which woman is the true mother of the living child.
My question is: what would the halacha dictate in this case?
