Getting a marriage certificate does not require a premarital examination. Since October 1, 2003, China has abolished the mandatory marriage examination for marriage registration. From now on, men and women can directly go to the marriage registration office to register and obtain a marriage certificate without the need for pre marital physical examination. Pre marital checkups are voluntary, but based on the principle of responsibility to the family and future generations, it is recommended to undergo pre marital checkups.
Pre marital physical examination is a systematic examination of one's entire body before marriage, which provides a timely understanding of one's physical condition. If there are health problems in the body, they can be treated in a timely manner. If both men and women have certain problems in the reproductive system, they can be detected and resolved as soon as possible to avoid conflicts in marital life caused by problems after marriage.
Marriage examination is not just a health check, but more importantly, it spreads knowledge about marriage and childbirth health to people and provides guidance on healthy marriage and childbirth. For example, healthcare institutions will play promotional videos on premarital medical and health knowledge, family planning after marriage, distribute promotional materials, and provide relevant consultation and guidance to prospective couples.
