Jigawa Passes ‘No HIV Test, No Marriage’ Bill Into Law by EdifiedCEO: 9:46am On Oct 13, 2016 |
Jigawa State House of Assembly has passed a bill which makes it mandatory for all intending couples to undergo test for HIV/AIDs, twice, in the last three months, before marriage is contracted. Making this known at yesterday’s plenary, Chairman of the Committee on the control of HIV/AIDs, Ibrahim Suleman Gwiwa, noted that the bill intended to provide free and compulsory HIV/AID test before marriage, as well prohibit all forms of discrimination and stigmatisation against people living with the virus. Gwiwa said the bill became imperative following the widespread of the killer disease among couples in the state. He explained that in the bill, Sharia and Magistrate Courts would have jurisdiction to try HIV/AIDs related offences and added that, on the other hand, Association for People living with HIV/AIDs and State Agency for the Control of AIDs would be deployed for enforcement at all levels. “Intending couples should submit themselves together to the same facility and the result should be open to them by the counsellor at the same time. “Tests should be done twice, three months and two weeks to the marriage and the bill indicates that Shariah and Magistrate Courts in the state have jurisdiction to try offences under the law.” http://www.newshelm.com/2016/10/jigawa-passes-no-hiv-test-no-marriage.html 3 Likes

Knowing your HIV status is good even if you are positive its not a death sentence you will be treated and live your life like every other person. That's good one from Jigawa state govt. However, can they handle this ? Is there any plan for the positive people ? The govt must be ready before they embark on mandatory test for intending couples. To all Nairalanders do you know your status ? Get tested today 24 Likes 4 Shares |

Sounds good but it will attract discrimination. What if your partner is positive and you want to proceed with the marriage, will the law prohibit them from getting married?? 4 Likes 1 Share |
