The Assembly said the decision marks a significant step towards protecting public health and preventing the spread of life-threatening diseases.

Majority Leader Lawan Hussein stated that anyone planning to marry must undergo medical examinations to ensure they are free from the aforementioned conditions.

Hussein emphasised that the bill was introduced due to the prevalence of health issues such as HIV, which can be spread through uninformed marriages in the state.
