Resumen
The topic of medical examination before marriage is a contemporary issue that
emerged in the 1980s. Given the recent health and social challenges, along with
the significant advancements in the field of genomics, this topic has resurfaced
and has been adopted in many Arab countries as a prerequisite for marriage
contracts. There is a debate regarding its obligatory nature, with some viewing it
as a requirement and others as a preventive measure. Among scholars, opinions
vary, with some permitting it, others mandating it, and some opposing it. This
disagreement arises from the evidence presented by each side and the pros and
cons associated with these medical examinations. It should be noted that the
requirement for medical examination before marriage is not intended to impose
restrictions or hardships; rather, it aims to positively impact the preservation of
people’s interests at various levels. One of its primary objectives is the
protection of life and lineage, alongside the objective of preserving wealth.
