Question
Answer the following question in your own words.
Why is it necessary for people to have their blood examined before marriage?
Short Answer
Solution
People should have their blood tested before marriage to reduce the chance of spreading genetic illnesses to their children. For example, if both partners have a family history for a specific disease (such as sickle cell disease or thalassaemia), their children are more likely to develop the disorder. Also, blood tests can reveal compatibility difficulties such the Rh factor. If the mother is Rh-negative and the father is Rh-positive, the offspring may develop difficulties such as erythroblastosis fetalis. Blood tests can also detect illnesses such as HIV/AIDS, which can be passed to a spouse or future children.
