Rubella Vax required for marriage-INDIANA

[Guest guest]

Blood tests or premarital examinations for men are not required.

What a crock, I would think that this would be discrimination. Technically

speaking, men should have all the same, and proof of rubella vax as well. While

they wouldn't carry a child, they could carry the disease the same as anyone

else ..........

How bizarre!

Rubella Vax required for marriage-INDIANA

Dear Phyllis:

I have just learned that proof of Rubella vaccination is required for marriage

in the State of Indiana.

My daughter is 26 and lives in Bloomington, IN. She will be married there at

the end of May. She called me recently, asking if she had the Rubella

vaccination because proof of it is required before she is permitted to get a

marriage license. This is for all women under the age of 50.

I spoke with a woman at the Monroe County Clerk - Bureau of Marriage Licenses

office; she told me there is an Indiana State form that must be filled out. I

told her that my daughter's vaccinations were given in the State of Pennsylvania

and that Pennsylvania does not have any official State forms that are filled out

when vaccinations are received. She is mailing me an Indiana form which I will

take to my daughter's pediatrician for him to sign. She then asked me if my

daughter attended IU and if she did, then she would have been required to give

proof of the Rubella vaccination before admission. (Rubella causes birth

defects.)

Incidentally, I now must have my daughter write a letter giving me authorization

to get the information from her pediatrician, since she is over the age of 18.

I can only assume that ALL Indiana colleges and universities require the Rubella

vaccination before admission.

The website for State of Indiana marriage licenses where this information is

stated is: http:\\www.marriage.about.com/library/bllin.htm

Listed below is the information which I copied into this e-mail from the website

listed above:

Other Tests: Women under the age of 50 must bring a completed State of Indiana

Premarital Examination Certificate. These are available through your family

doctor or any RediMed, StatCare, or other urgent care clinic. Blood tests or

premarital examinations for men are not required.

Sincerely,

Ginny Schoenman

*giggles* I was thinking the very same thing actually. I wonder if anyone ever

tried taking that to the ACLU? ;-)
