Question : hello doctor
mataching for marriage boy blood group A+ / GIRL BLOOD GROUP O+

Brief Answer:
Not considered compatible

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

You should know below MATCHING blood groups for marriage:

Boy: A = Girl: A & AB
Boy: B = Girl: B & AB
Boy: O = Girl: O,A,B & AB
Boy: AB = Girl: AB
Boy: Rh+ve = Girl: Rh+ve
Boy: Rh-ve = Girl: Rh+ve & Rh-ve

In your case, Boy A+ and Girl O+ is not considered compatible for marriage since it may cause hemolytic disease of newborn (HDN), jaundice, anemia, miscarriage etc during pregnancy or after child birth. However there are no clear statistical figures to know how many couples suffered from compatibility issues.

Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.

Good luck.

Regards,
Dr S Patra
