"Dubai: Getting a legal marriage certificate in the UAE is now dependent on couples undergoing screening , including thalassaemia and sickle-cell anaemia.
Couples, however, need not test negative for any of the diseases, such as HIV, hepatitis B and C, syphilis or tuberculosis, to get married.
Dr Ameen Al Amiri, co-chair of the Pre-Marital Higher Committee, told Gulf News that the requirement was compulsory for all, non-nationals included, in the UAE.
"The courts will not approve a marriage certificate until they get a pre-marital screening programme certificate," he said.
He spoke to Gulf News after meeting with other members of the committee, comprising the Ministry of Health, the Dubai Department of Health and Medical Services (Dohms) and the Abu Dhabi General Authority on Health, yesterday.
Couples wanting to tie the knot in the UAE were previously required to undergo blood tests for HIV, hepatitis B and syphilis, which are sexually-transmitted diseases and an X-ray for tuberculosis, which is airborne.
Thalassaemia and sickle-cell anaemia are inherited haemoglobin disorders, while hepatitis C is a blood-borne disease.
An estimated eight per cent of the local population are carriers of genetic haemoglobin disorders thalassaemia and sickle cell disease. About 50 thalassaemia patients in Dubai are infected with hepatitis C, which they contracted through blood transfusions prior to 1992.
Hepatitis C is also severely undiagnosed as most infected people do not have any symptoms.
Dr Al Amiri said the pre-marital screening was important to protect the public.
"The main aim is to protect the community against diseases like thalassaemia, sickle-cell anaemia and hepatitis C," he said.
Couples who want to get married despite testing positive for any of the diseases will receive medical care and education on the disease, he added.
"No one has the right to stop others from getting married. It is a human rights issue [to get married]; but they have a right to know, to take precautionary guidelines, get treatment and vaccines," he said.
Dr Al Amiri expected the decision to take effect within two weeks once Health Minister Humaid Mohammad Obaid Al Qutami issued a ministerial decree.
"Within this month, screening markers will be compulsory everywhere," he said. He added that couples could get tested at all preventive medicine centres and government hospitals. Non-nationals who test positive for HIV will still be deported after a confirmation test is done."
