When they went for the test, they discovered, to their chagrin, that they were both carriers of the AS blood type. The priest said it won't be possible to wed AS and AS carriers.
What is the importance of genotype test before marriage?
Medical science advocates against breeding between AS blood carriers because their offspring have higher chances of being born with sickle cell anaemia.
The man said his mother likes the lady a lot and that she has advised him to marry her.
His words:
"She is AS and I'm also AS. The priest said he won't consent to such a marriage. I have done traditional rites. This lady may die if I leave her now. My mother said I should go ahead that God can change anything."

Ruthie Ndukwe said:
"How can one be in a relationship for 2 good years without knowing each other genotype? What kind of play is that. What have you 2 been discussing if I may ask?"
Nnaji Akachukwu Nnaji said:
"There's nothing more to add here, bro. The lady won't die. Love is not enough my brother. I just pray God comes through for the developing fetus because ignorance is not even an excuse to subject an innocent child to such an impending life of horror."
