2016 YEAR – “YEAR OF HEALTHY MOTHER AND CHILD”.

According to our ancient traditions when matchmakers went to see the future groom for the first time they tried to collect full information about seven generations of the bride and groom, their health, behavior, attitudes and moral standing, whether there was a hereditary disease among their relatives.

Unfortunately, today this tradition was forgotten a little. Because some families when they marry their daughters or sons instead of paying attention to generation, health of girl or boy, how they were ready to build a family they are being fascinated by luxurious houses, cars of future relatives. Unfortunately, as a result, some time later, they feel sad, regretful.

Don’t be careless toa medical check!

At the same time, many words are being said about the importance of a medical examination before the registration of marriage. Most citizens are looking seriously to this issue. But still there are a few people who neglect the medical examination.  And this is one of the problems facing our society. Below we speak about medical examination, its importance and role.

Acting head of the department of MRO of Marhamat district Irodakhon Ergasheva shared her views and comments on the subject:

- In accordance with the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. 365 on August 25, 2003,- "About confirming regulations on the medical examination of persons entering into marriage" future brides and grooms are passed free medical examination.

The main purpose of the medical examination of persons entering into marriage - the prevention of congenital and hereditary diseases, creating healthy environment in the society. Unfortunately, it makes me worry carelessness of some parents to their children's health, their fate. For example, we come across such circumstances during our work that our conscience does not allow officially register the marriage. But there are times when we can’t stand against the opinion of some parents. Recently we have been faced with such a situation. It was determined that the groom worked in Russia, got an infectious disease from there and currently in the final stages of treatment during the medical examination. We called girl’s and fellow’s parents and explained the situation. The wedding should be stopped for some period, if complications of the disease are not stopped it may pass to the bride too. The groom's relatives firmly said that they couldn’t stop the wedding ceremony. And the bride's relatives said the following comment : "The day of the wedding was confirmed, the restaurant was arranged, invitations were distributed to the guests, the rooms of the house were decorated and if we postpone the wedding how people think about this, what about my daughter?!".

Parties coming into an agreement that the bride and groom often visit the doctor they decided not to stop the wedding, the marriage were officially recorded. We found out that the young man was in Russia for many years, collected much money, though he was young he had a private car, a luxurious house. When we face similar situations like this we will be upset that parents push their children into headlong seeing and knowing. After all we can’t find the answer to the question that when parents realize that luxury wedding, car, mansions can’t make happy the child, such unpleasant cases could have negative effects on the health of children and he may suffer so much because of this.

... And some people had already had a marriage with legitimate marriage, had lived seven or eight months, the bride is pregnant, and soon gives a birth to the baby, apply for an officially registration of the marriage only because they need to take a birth certificate for their child. In this case, we will, of course, give a direction for a medical examination. It’s a pity that, in some cases, the availability of a variety of diseases is determined in the bride and the groom. In this case, there is no way back for the bride or the groom. She is pregnant, the disease observed in father or the mother affects the fetus too. In order to avoid such unpleasant situations we work in cooperation with imam-teachers.

Today, it’s a habit that young people receive the wedding certificate during the wedding ceremony. That’s why only after they went through a medical examination, we are familiar with the results of it we give them a special reference for the teaching of nikah marriage. Of course, the cases of filling the results of the medical examination with lies by doctors blindly were also widespread. We had such cases that parents who married their daughter came to us saying: "The bridegroom was sick, they hid this from us, now our daughter won’t live with him", those who married their son: "She was sick, they deceived us and married their sick daughters". In order such situations don’t happen the persons entering into marriage, of course, must pass a medical examination.

In this regard, I want to tell to our citizens, to young people on the threshold of a new life, never be carless to the health and the lives of your loved ones. Don’t forget- the health of the members of your family makes the base of a strong family.

 The results of medical examinationare kept as a secret

Irrespective of citizenship all citizens which are registrated by MRO of the Republic of Uzbekistan are held a medical examination in accordance with the Family Code in the order. The results of the medical examination will be kept confidential. The main purpose of the medical examination – creating a healthy environment in the family, heredity and preventing the birth of children with congenital abnormalities.

In case when the disease revealed in one of the youh or both of them during  the medical examination it is informed to themselves, their parents and to the specialists marriage registration  institutions in the appropriate manner. In other words, the results of the medical examination will be kept confidential.

 An attention to the health of our descendants

The imam of the "Qora qurg’on" mosque in Andijan city  Zuhriddin Musajonov says the following on the subject:

    -The foundation of the family, its fortified citadel, the ring that tightly linking the husband and wife is nikah. Marriage is considered as the most sacred agreement in human society. Because distinguishing halal and haram in the life, observance of  the rights of husband-wife, family planning, to ensure the continuity of the human species, education of the younger generation are the issues related to marriage.

The implementation of medical examination of the bride and groom before the marriage thinking the strength of the family, being the bride and groom happy, born children would be healthy is one of the best, very necessary and reasonable works being done by our government. Imagine how each parent who married their children with high hopes feel when they know that his or her daughter’s husband or bride suffer from an incurable illness. To avoid such unpleasant events, thinking the luck of family and children, introduced in order to build a healthy family and marriage this event has benefits both to the bride and groom and their relatives.

The teachings of islam wish only the good to people and support their not harming each other. So, first of all, pay an attention to your child's health. In this regard it is desirable that teacher- imams who read the legitimate nikah read the nikah only after seeing the marriage certificate which indicates the official registration of nikah, making sure that the young people went through a medical examination in order to avoid the unpleasantness.

A person whose children are healthy, happy has a calm heart. A calm heart desires admiring, wedding-luxury, laughter and joy. For this it is required that a person must be careful and responsible to his the health. So in order to live happy, meaningful and peaceful, first of all we must never forget that we should live following a healthy lifestyle, paying attention to our health.
