The subject of the study is the institute of personal rights and freedoms of spouses, which includes a dispositive rule on the right of future spouses to undergo a medical examination. The result of the study is proposals for amendments to family law and legislation in the field of health protection. The novelty of the research lies in the generalization of the practice of legal support for medical examination of persons entering into marriage. Based on foreign and Russian experience, the opinions of the expert community, proposals for amendments to the family legislation of the Russian Federation are formulated. For the science of family law, the article is of interest, since expert positions on key problematic aspects of medical examination are summarized, and the author's point of view on the need to replace the dispositive norm with an imperative norm is substantiated. The component of scientific novelty is the author's assessment of foreign experience in regulating legal norms, based on the belonging of states to the Romano-German or Anglo-Saxon legal systems.
