sure. Since October 2003, China's new Marriage Registration Regulations have abolished the requirement for mandatory premarital check ups. The premarital check ups for new couples have changed from "mandatory items" to "optional items", and individuals can choose whether or not to undergo premarital check ups based on their own wishes. If they do not want to undergo premarital check ups, they can refuse. But premarital check ups are of great significance, as they can provide early understanding of the physical condition of both parties, provide targeted guidance for eugenics, and benefit the health of oneself and the next generation. It is recommended that couples undergo premarital check ups.
1、 Can I obtain a marriage certificate without undergoing a premarital medical examination
Not having a marriage check-up will not affect obtaining a marriage certificate. According to relevant regulations, both parties to a marriage can apply for marriage registration at the marriage registration authority in the place where one party's permanent household registration is located with relevant documents, without the need to provide a marriage examination certificate.
Required documents for obtaining a marriage certificate:
1. Both male and female ID cards and household registration books.
2. Three recent passport sized photos of a man and a woman without a hat.
3. Proof of marital status issued by the employer and residents' committee.
4. I have no signed declaration from my spouse.
5. A signed statement stating that there is no direct blood relationship or collateral blood relationship within three generations with the other party.
2、 The necessity of premarital medical examination
1. Beneficial for eugenics
In general, marriage leads to childbirth. Whether a child is healthy and intelligent must be based on science. Through family history investigation and physical examination, genetic problems can be discovered. Doctors will provide necessary guidance on childbirth to avoid the occurrence of children with genetic diseases or deformities.
2. Abnormalities in the reproductive organs can be detected
Some newlyweds have abnormal development of their reproductive organs. If they marry recklessly, it will bring pain to both parties, cast a shadow over the family, and even lead to the breakdown of the marriage relationship.
3. Beneficial for family planning
Doctors will choose the best time for conception or contraceptive methods for both parties based on their health status, physiological conditions, and birth plans, and guide them to implement effective measures, master scientific techniques, and effectively protect the health of women and children.
4. Beneficial for understanding physical health status
Through a comprehensive and systematic physical examination before marriage, one can have a scientific understanding of their physical condition and also discover whether they have diseases that are not suitable for immediate marriage, such as acute hepatitis, active tuberculosis, etc. If so, they can wait until the disease is cured before getting married.
5. Helps to receive health guidance
Through premarital check ups, it is possible to understand the health and mental status of both men and women, as well as information about individual and family congenital and genetic diseases, in order to provide targeted publicity and guidance. For a very small number of patients with genetic diseases, guidance can be provided based on their condition and genetic patterns.
