I have been in a relationship with a girl for 1 year and the half (I think we complete each others - in the way of thinking / common of interests) I love her and she love me , and I believe in the love factor before marriage. Now I decided to go to the higher step and think of engagement and marriage but a serious problem occurred:

I will go through many medical terminologies , since I have done thorough researches on this genetic disorder:

- Recently she declared to me that she has Beta thalassemias, a blood disorder that reduces the production of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the iron-containing protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to cells throughout the body. In people with beta thalassemia, low levels of hemoglobin lead to a lack of oxygen in many parts of the body.

Symptoms:

Fussiness
Paleness
Frequent infections
A poor appetite
Failure to thrive
Jaundice, which is a yellowing of the skin or the whites of the eyes
Enlarged organs (Mainly Spleen since the Red-blood cells die fast and the spleen stores red blood cells and bone enlarge (they work hard to produce more blood cells)
Giving a child / doing surgeries - extra blood is needed , the blood will not clot as fast as normal un- mutated blood.

She needs a regular Doctor visit each 3 months and regular bloods tests , cardio graph , spleen and abdomen ultra sound each 6 months - luckily she does not need any blood transfusion since she has 1 Hemoglobin chain mutated - minor thalassemia , but she needs life monitoring with no cure since It is a genetic disorder - relative marriage.

- I did hemoglobin electrophoresis blood test , I have no silent traits and my hemoglobin is normal which reduces cancel the chance of getting a child of major thalassemia.

Shall I go ahead , or stop and search for another partner. She is very nice , from a good family , she looks cute , we love each others etc.. Medium living standard , therefore as her potential husband I will borne all the expenses for her life genetic disorder. I have not disclosed this to my parents , and I think I will be faced with a sever rejection.
