Bride Sent Groom for Psychiatric Examination Before Wedding
In Zhlobin, a groom underwent a psychological and psychiatric examination to confirm the legality of a future marriage contract. His fiancée insisted on the unusual procedure.
The couple already has experience in serious relationships and children from previous marriages. Planning a new life together, the lovers decided to conclude a marriage contract. The document is intended to clearly define property rights, spousal support obligations, and the interests of children, reports "Gomelskaya Pravda".
However, there was one detail: the man has a central nervous system disorder.
To prevent anyone from disputing his free will or declaring the contract invalid in the future, the bride suggested undergoing an official evaluation at the State Committee of Forensic Examinations.
Specialists from the Zhlobin Interdistrict Department of the State Committee of Forensic Examinations (DKSE) conducted a comprehensive examination.
The experts' verdict: the man's health peculiarities in no way affected his ability to make conscious decisions. Having received "the green light" and the official conclusion, the groom went to the notary to formalize the agreement.
— Such an examination is conducted on a contractual basis and allows a citizen to certify their current mental state on the day of taking an important step, — explains Yulia Karpava, Head of the Forensic Psychiatric Examinations Sector of the Zhlobin Department of the State Committee of Forensic Examinations. — This becomes a strong argument in court if someone tries to claim that the person did not understand the meaning of their actions. An expert's conclusion is a guarantor of the validity of decisions made and the protection of rights.
