PESHAWAR: A government member presented The NWFP Preventive Health Bill, 2009 in the provincial assembly on Thursday to make premarital tests mandatory to spread health awareness and educate future parents that may give birth to children with contagious and fatal diseases.
According to the Bill introduced by Awami National Party’s (ANP) Saqibullah Khan Chamkani, a nikah registrar shall obtain test reports of spouses regarding thalassemia and hepatitis-C before the solemnisation of the marriage.
The nikah registrar shall also keep these reports for at least three years and if a marriage is solemnised in contravention of these provisions, the license of nikah registrar shall be cancelled and whosoever, other than nikah registrar, solemnises such marriage shall be fined Rs 10,000.
The Bill says the result of thalassemia and hepatitis-C test reports, whatever it may be, shall have no effect on the marriage being solemnised.
