I guess he doesnt want to give the user a default value like Yes or No. In that case you could use unchecked radio buttons Yes and No instead. If the user doesnt decide for either one the field yes should equals to null.

Typically an unticked checkbox doesn't actually return anything in a HTTP post anyway. What do you mean when you "require" a checkbox field? That it is always to be checked? If so, then perhaps you should either not put the checkbox on the page, and simply set that value by default in your Action or wherever, or else set it before rendering the page and make it read-only.
