      The requirement is to make sure that none of the two parties are infected with a venereal disease.

        The main reason, that you are not blood related.

          Not all states require a blood test for a marriage license. Texas is excluded.

            How can you tell she is voting down other peoples answers? I must be missing something because I thought I can only see the names of the people who vote me up or down and not when someone votes someone else up or down.

              Not to start a war and not to hijack this thread but...  Does this law also pertain to lesbian and gay marriages?? I mean like obviously they can not have children so why would it mandatory??

                Blood tests used to be required to check for syphilis.
