Pre-marital clinical tests can avoid impotency, STDs: Madras HC

Madurai, Aug 28 (IBNS): The Madurai Bench of Madras High Court on Thursday suggested that prospective couples should undergo pre-marital clinical examinations to avoid impotency and sexually transmitted diseases (STD), which may spoil marital relations.
Justice N Kirubakaran was quoted by media as saying: "If pre-marital clinical examinations by doctors are done, it will prevent not only impotents getting married, but (also) prevent marriages of people suffering from dangerous and incurable diseases. Governments should give first preference to tackling this kind of human problems."
 
The judge asked the central as well as the state governments to give more focus on the issue.
 
The court also asked whether both governments were ready to amend marriage laws so as to fast-track disposal of matrimonial disputes.
