Why RCCG Is Ordering its Members to Submit Their Genitals as Part of Pre-marital Medical Tests
A leading Pentecostal church in the country, the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has issued a directive compelling members intending to get married to subject themselves to what it called “genital tests.”
According to the church, the directive, which is making the rounds on social media, was intended as a measure against “the recurrence of cases of marital crises resulting from falsehood, especially in the case of undeclared or unconfessed reproductive/genital status.”
The church’s directive is contained in a document dated May 10, 2018, signed by Pastor J. F. Odeola for the General Overseer.
The document labelled “memo,” from Assistant General Overseer (Admin & Personnel), with reference: RCCG/PERS/IFO/AD/MENO/10/05/2018, has as subject: Directive on pre-marital examination.
