Ukrainian President Victor Yushchenko has signed the bill "On introducing changes to the family and the civil codes" passed by the Verkhovna Rada Dec. 22, 2006.
According to the amendment, the groom and the bride now have to inform each other about their state of health, which is forced by the government, REGNUM reported.
"This will only do benefit to the family health and future generations," deputy and faction member "Our Ukraine" Lilia Grigorovich said, "It is honest for each other and honest for the society. All of us have witnessed how many problems arise when ill parents give birth to ill children. This vicious circle needs to be broken."
"Moreover, the state take upon too many duties to help these children. But the main thing is that such children face great problems in their lives, which is a sorrow for their parents too," she noted.
"So when the young examine their state of health before the wedding, they will learn about probable problems they may be confronted with in their future family life. All this will contribute to the strength and health of Ukrainian families and children these families will give birth to. This law is of great importance," Lilia Grigorovich stressed.
