As long as both the man and the woman meet the conditions for marriage registration, they can obtain a marriage certificate without undergoing a medical examination. Pre marital examination refers to the routine physical and reproductive examinations conducted on both men and women before marriage. Since the implementation of the new version of the Marriage Registration Regulations in 2003, the mandatory premarital medical examination system has been abolished and premarital medical examination has become a voluntary act. Although pre marital examination is not mandatory before obtaining a marriage certificate, we cannot deny the role of pre marital examination.
The main contents of premarital medical examination include five categories: infectious diseases, congenital genetic diseases, severe mental illnesses, internal medicine system diseases, and reproductive system diseases. Diseases discovered during prenatal check ups are related to marriage and childbirth, such as major illnesses, infertility, and familial genetic diseases. This is not only related to both parties preparing for marriage, but also to the offspring of both parties after marriage.
Pre marital checkups can timely detect potential health risks for both men and women, and intervene early before marriage, thereby reducing the health risks of married families and the rate of birth defects in children. In the spirit of being responsible to oneself, one's partner, and the family, one should take the initiative to undergo pre marital examinations to understand whether both parties' physical and mental conditions are suitable for entering into marriage.
