Abstract
The attitude of 31 Muslim parents towards their children giving birth to a child with beta thalassaemia was investigated. Nineteen parents intended to arrange the marriages for their children, and all but one would avoid arranging a marriage to another with the trait if their child had the trait. Only five parents would not support ante-natal diagnosis at any stage in the pregnancy, but this did not include the parents of the child where marriage arrangements would not have been altered.
