Some Churches Carry-out Pregnancy Test Before Wedding: Why? by bennieman: 1:09pm On Feb 20, 2013 |
Although the catholic church is an exception, most churches conduct pregnancy test for intending couples before they agree to join them in holy matrimony. Does the fact that a bride is not pregnant mean that the couple have not engaged in premarital sex? Again, if the bride is pregnant, is it not a good thing that the couple have agreed to marry? Forbidding pregnancy before wedding may lead to several cases of abortion which is an act of taking lives. It is imperative to note that I am not a catholic neither was my wife pregnant before time, but this is one area where I am with the catholic church. What is your take on this issue? 4 Likes |

If the church would not wed couple with 6 months pregnancy ,the should also not wed couple with views days pregnancy because they are supposed to remain till the wedding night . So he test is one off the ways to help people keep their christian testimony 9 Likes |

So he test is one off the ways to help people keep their christian testimony Mtchew. And if they had sex the day before the wedding? Abeg. This kind of puritan morality is senseless.

Good afternoon Bennie, I don't think it is appropriate to have intending couples perform a pregnancy test before they are wedded. I don't see any reasonable explanation for such practice. Are they trying to ensure that the man does not marry someone who is pregnant with another man's child? Or are they saying that if the man happens to be responsible then both of them will be ostracized? Or is it that the lady will be given some special gift for not getting pregnant? Really, I don't see the rationale for the pregnancy test. I do support some form of medical examinations before marriage however but this should come from the couples and not something that is forced on them. I believe this should be a matter of choice. Thank you! 9 Likes |

striktlymi: Good afternoon Bennie,As much as I agree with you the bottomline is this: no one is forced to attend these 'churches'. If the couple doesn't like the rules of the church they attend then by all means, there are a thousand other churches available. 28 Likes |

Pregnancy is a result of premarital s*x, that is, if the couples are not married yet! The Catholic Church frowns at premarital s*x. But if intending couples can have premarital s*x and escape pregnancy, GOOD FOR THEM. 3 Likes |

bennieman: Although the catholic church is an exception, most churches conduct pregnancy test for intending couples before they agree to join them in holy matrimony. Its a No No for me. Carry out a pregnancy test on my wife before you wed us? Is Ikoyi Marriage Registry on strike? I will so insult that pastor and take a drive to Ikoyi. As i walk away, my tithe walks with me (and my wife's own join). The tithing part is a joke oo. I no dey fall mugu for a fellow man. Tithe my yansh 3 Likes |

The last time i checked marriage in the bible, it is a union between A MAN and A WOMAN. Not a Man , A woman and Her baby. If you can not abide, look for another church that will allow you marry with 9 months pregnancy. Not a problem. 22 Likes |

dammytosh: The last time i checked marriage in the bible, it is a union between A MAN and A WOMAN. Yea...better to wait till the child is born before getting married, or preferably, kill the child and get married ASAP. Afterall, marriage is simply the union of the man and the woman, the child is an obstacle to their love. Also, since churches are like clubs, you can just walk into next one down the street and get married if the one you attend refuse the union. #Translation of Quoted post 3 Likes |
