Petition Action

Give registry offices powers to demand medical evidence and order DNA testing.

Petition Details

There is evidence to suggest that genetic disorders are a particular risk in communities where there are marriages among close relatives.

Additional Information

When booking a civil wedding ceremony the registry office should have the powers to ask for independent DNA and medical evidence to certify that both parties are not related. If it is found by that they are closely related then no civil ceremony should legally take place.
