Turkish law requires that all people getting married be tested for HIV, RPR (syphillis) and I think the other is Rubella (because not being immune can be dangerous to a fetus).  Anyway, they used to do this in the US and most other countries as well.  Turkey is one of the countries that continues to do it. 

That way all parties know what they are getting into, to a certain extent. No nasty surprises one week after the wedding.

Brilliant, thanks for your reply. I hate needles Not that ive even been proposed to, but a girl can dream...

you girls know everything about marriage, woman man relations in Turkey.

Im learning lots of things from you as a turkishDD

Why you all are wondering so much about medical tests before marriage ? İn Romania also you have to make them. İn your countries not ? 

It is also tested for the bloodgrouping of Rh, because when the woman is Rh negative and the male Rh positive, it can cause complications during pregnancy. Knowing this beforehand, the problem can easily be solved with just one needle

Much as I understand the idea to protect the health of the prospective parents, I hate to think these things are actually examined before pregnancy. It seems disturbing that the state should want to know my medical details even if I´m not planning to procreate. In most countries that I know, such tests are carried out after you actually get pregnant.

 Well, I would like to have my blood tested before getting pregnant. I just don´t see what the state has got to do with it and rather unlogical as well: you can´t get married without being tested, but it isn´t that hard to procreate without getting married, ey?

 nope no blood tests here...it´s your own responsability

 Pity,tests if you are hot blooded or cold should be obligatory to avoid bamboozling...

In england the rh test is done after the birth of the baby because it is if the mother is rh negitive and the baby rh positive that they need the injection.
