Yes, you have to have a blood test. The reason is to ensure that neither of you has a communicable disease or any type disease for which you should see a physician. Also, your blood is checked to determine if you have any bacterial or viral infections or sexually transmitted diseases. Additionally, it is a requirement of most states that you undergo these tests.. Also, it would not be desirable to be married without making sure you are free of any contagious or communicable diseases.

Only a handful of states still require a blood test for couples planning on marrying. Premarital blood tests check both partners for venereal disease or rubella. The tests may also disclose the presence of genetic disorders such as sickle-cell anemia or Tay-Sachs disease

It depends upon the requirements set by the country, county and state that you are applying for a license in. In some places it is required.

I know one reason in Illinois was to test for syphilis in either person. The marriage could not go on until the person had been treated.

If you're in the state of Illinois, no. California, yes. It varies by state. You can call your town hall or county clerk and they'll be able to tell you.

In the past, a blood test for a marriage license was done to check for syphilis or, later, HIV. No US state still requires such testing.

Do a husband and wife have to have a blood test before they get married and if their blood is incompatible what health effect will it have on their child?

Having a blood test before you are married is usually a good idea, even if it isn't required. However, that is to make sure neither of the partners have any STDs or other diseases. If a mother has negative blood of any type and the father has a positive they will need to test the baby's blood type (before it is born). If it is positive the mother will need to receive a shot in order to reduce the risk of miscarriage.
