The Right to Freedom of Spouse Choice and Religious Upbringing of Children (CRF, Articles 2 and 7)

Summary/Abstract: Among the catalogue of elementary rights contained in the Charter of the Rights of the Family, we can find the right to freedom of spouse choice and religious upbringing of children. These are neither new rights nor new freedoms given or established in the Charter, but an ecclesiastical opinion towards their contents that expresses the natural rights of an individual. The freedom from coercion in choosing the spouse expresses the foundation assertion of the entire marriage law system that the marriage must be contracted by mutual consent. And closely related to it is the freedom to practice one’s own religion and the religious upbringing of children. The above rights and freedoms are the subject of analysis in this study.
