Last week, I read an interesting article in an online news site about making potency test mandatory for couples. The news site was quoting Veteran Tamil actress Manorama's statement in this regard. She cited that potency test should be made mandatory for all couples before getting married and that medical certificates should be produced to prove it. This is applicable to both the sexes.
Such a rule will have pros and cons for sure. The potency test or fertility test done on women may lead to dire aftermaths like testing a woman's virginity and also testing her maturity to get married. But an HIV test prior to marriage should be welcomed with warm applause. I dont know whether such a rule is realizable at the present time or in the near future and also I am skeptical about the extend to which such a rule will prove to be useful. Moreover, like in every other practice in this country, this may also end up in issuance of bogus certificates by corrupt medical practitioners.
Anyway.... I wont be surprised to see some new key words adorning the matrimony columns in the near future......

what actress manorama said, may be from her own experience.
@bluebird that may be true.......
one of the real life story i heard recently make us think that we need such a test but still it depends hw each person take it.but one thing is sure if its made mandatory it will lead to a lot of false certificates and more cheating.so the present situation is better and HIV test should be welcomed.
HIV test prior to marriage sounds practically a good idea.
