Iowa marriage bill seeks compulsory premarital physical test
An amendment to require every marriage license applicant in Iowa to undergo a physical examination was filed in the state senate. The proposal would add a eugenics clause, requiring a certificate within 10 days of the application from a reputable physician, and would bar licenses for certain impaired individuals. The measure, debated with more than 30 amendments, aims to ensure applicants are free of infectious diseases and meet standards similar to other states.
