We may reasonably consider the advisability of requiring, on the part of those applying for licenses to marry, medical evidence that the contraction of marriage will not threaten society by the perpetuation of mental or physical deficiency. " In certain of the states laws have been introduced making the passing of a medical examination a pre-requisite to the obtaining of a license to marry, and for this purpose em- powering the licensing officer to call the parties before him and to examine the...m upon oath touching their physical condition. The Michigan Act provides that " no person who has been afflicted with syphilis or gonorrhoea and has not been cured of the same shall be capable of contracting a marriage, " and those offending against this law incur a penalty of from $500 to $1, 000 fine, and imprisonment for five years, or both, and in case of prosecution the husband and the wife may be examined against each other, and the attending physician may be compelled to testify and may not be permitted to shelter himself under the plea of professional privilege.
