Move to adjust premarital law in Kuwait rejected
(MENAFN)Two ministries in Kuwait refused to respond to a call to amend the pre-marital screening law that forces couples to undergo drug tests and to present police certificate detailing whether the applicant has a criminal record.
Kuwaiti daily Al RaI reported on Tuesday the parliament's women and family committee mentioned the government's reservation.
The health ministry said that the drug test was all so unnecessary, the reports mentioned.
"The test is pointless because drug users can hide their condition through nutrient solutions. In addition, drugs do not remain in the blood more than 72 hours," the ministry stated.
"Some medications and painkillers are considered psychotropic substances that may affect the result of the examination. At the same time, the Ministry's hospitals do not have accurate screening equipment because of their onerous costs. It is available only at the Forensic Department of the Ministry of the Interior." The ministry added.
