Abstract: We give a sufficient condition for a first order infinitesimal deformation of a curve on a $ 3$-fold to be obstructed. As application we construct generically non-reduced components of the Hilbert schemes of uniruled $ 3$-folds and the Hom scheme from a general curve of genus five to a general cubic $ 3$-fold.
