Medical check-up before marriage......... How important it is.

Too much has been said & discussed on intercast marriage, same gotra marriage, kundalini milaan before marriage etc.
I have never heard anyone talking on medical check-up of the boy and girl before their marriage, specially in context of possibility of transfer of genes. If medical check-up be done before marriage, the possibility of Thalassemia, Haemophilia, Celiac or Hemoglobinopathy will be known to us. Henceforth, the prevention can be done.
Aids and other hereditary diseases can be prevented by just a simple blood test of the couple before their marriage. After a certain period of time it becomes impossible to cure hereditary diseases. So its better to avoid marriage of a couple who have presence of a same gene. Many problems can be avoided by just checking the RH factor of the couple. The children of the couple where girl is RH negative and boy is RH positive, are found with big ailments.
The only solution to prevent /stop diseases like Thalassemia is medical check-up of the couple before their marriage. Actually, there are 23 pairs or 46 chromosomes in one body. If one gene is defected/abnormal, then the other genes of the couple cover this problem. This gene is called as regressive and the patient is called as silent carrier. If both the husband and wife are silent cariers, there is a 25% possibility of Thalassemia in their child.
We can avoid such problems/diseases by medical check-up of the couple before marriage. Hereditary problems are leading to a long list of diabetic and cancer patients today. Doctors believe, if the couple have any gene of such hereditary diseases, there is a great possibility of their children being born patients.

    otherwise,ther is no deficiency in ur blog,,as usual,hats off.....also,as per JEET BRO..a portion of gurjar community is unable to bear the expenditure for all these tests,but he has written one thing unappropriate,,i.e.****** mujhe lagata hein sheel gujjar g ko poore gujjar caste ke baare mein sochna chaiyea naki sirf paise wale ya jo padhe likhe gujjar hein unke baare mein*****,JEET bro...SHEEL has not written dis blog on the basis of rich or poor,so i request u to take ur words back.this blog is not for poor or rich,but for all.lastly,if we can decide dat its for rich n educated people,then its our duty to help those who r uneducated n poor,thankxxx........

  5. I ask sheel, can non gurjars comment on this blog? I am not a gurjar. But, I agree with what has been written by sheel and supported by other members.
    Yes this is absolutely right to go for some tests before marriage. This practice is not common even in other castes, even in India as a whole. We should first need to understand the importance of this practice.
    No miracle is gonna happen in a day or two. A person spreads a message among say- 10 people. These 10 ppl further spread this message among 100 ppl. This way the mass is educated. It may take some time but, once in practice this will help in prevention of many problems.
    Sheel you are doing a nice job through your blog. As I know you personally, I would say you are a little late. Please excuse me but this was expected of you so many years before. Please keep doing the way you do. You know you are always perfect.
