Pre-marriage Thalassemia test likely to be declared mandatory in Punjab

[krash]

You are taking it negatively. I think it will provide knowledge and information and help both sides to make an informed and wise decision. Once the test results are known to the two sides and they are aware of the resulting consequences and suffering of their off-spring, they can re-consider their decision or choose to go ahead, no one is going to force anything on anyone, just empowering people with important knowledge.

Agreed to the cent, however my contention is that it's not the state's place to enforce such mandatory tests. The right of non disclosure is there for very important and very obvious reasons, especially in an uneducated society as our's. Instead the state should run vigorous campaigns to increase awareness regarding the disease and provide couples with inexpensive tests. Like the sabz sitara and chabi campaigns. This is a very intimate decision which only the couple has any right to take.

This is even more concerning since the state is now getting into the habit of overreaching its allowed limits.

do u know what is thalassemia,,its prevalance near indus region n its consequences?

Me and my then wife to be got ourselves tested for it.

Stop marrying your first cousin idiots, tackle the main issue. First cousin marriage should be banned in Pakistan for about 100 years to recover from all that inbreeding.

A great step.

It will also help the young couple plan out their kids future if the need of treatment arises at a much earlier phase.

That shit aint seeing an end sooner or later, especially in punjab.

Now that we know the risks of such marriages our people are still carrying on this tradition, not only that try telling older generation of Pakistani parents about the risks of such communion, they say oh these English people disrespecting our culture and these studies are all lies and some sort of a grand conspiracy against us.

I have met many parents with kids having thalessemia major and when i tell them that cousin marriage is one of the major cause many of them agree with me.

Screening for thalessemia minor before marriage is necessary but thalessemia can be prevented even if the couples are married amd planning for baby.prenatal diagnosis with CVS can be done at 12th week of pregnancy and the pregnancy can be terminated even fatwa exist in favour of this and for this mass education is necessary.
