You can voluntarily choose whether or not to have a marriage check-up when applying for a marriage certificate. In 2003, China changed its mandatory premarital medical examination system, and the premarital medical examination report is no longer a necessary document for obtaining a marriage certificate. However, due to the significant importance of premarital medical examination, it is still advocated at the national level.
The benefits of premarital check ups
1. Beneficial for the health of both parties and the next generation. Through a comprehensive pre marital physical examination, abnormal conditions can be detected and treated in a timely manner, effectively avoiding unhealthy problems in the next generation.
2. Beneficial for eugenics and improving national quality. Through the inquiry of family history, investigation of family lineage, analysis of genealogy, and combined with physical examination results, premarital medical examination can make a clear diagnosis of certain genetic defects and calculate the risk level of "affecting the next generation of eugenics", which can greatly reduce the risk of childbirth and help both parties to make marriage and childbirth decisions.
3. It is beneficial to actively and effectively grasp the timing of conception and contraceptive methods. Doctors will choose the best time for conception or contraceptive methods based on the health status, physiological conditions, and birth plans of both parties, guide people to implement effective measures, master scientific techniques, and achieve the goal of eugenics.
