The cases that prevent marriage in Azerbaijan are being increased, this was reflected in the proposed amendment to the Family Code, which was discussed at today's meeting of the Milli Majlis (Azerbaijani Parliament), APA reports.
Among the cases that prevent marriage in Azerbaijan are children of brothers and (or) sisters who share a common biological grandfather and (or) grandmother, children of biologically related uncles (maternal or paternal), as well as aunts (maternal or paternal) are being included.
It was noted that like a part of the world population, the risk of genetic diseases in children born as a result of marriages between blood relatives in Azerbaijan is very high.
To solve this problem, it is proposed to establish a new norm in Article 12 of the Family Code (Cases preventing the conclusion of marriage) that prohibits marriages not only between close relatives but also between children who share common biological grandparents, as well as between children of biologically related uncles (maternal or paternal), and aunts (maternal or paternal).
The draft law was put to a vote and adopted in the third reading.
