Proposal to Article 14—Respect for privacy, the home and the family

1. (remains unchanged)

2. Merge subsections (a), (b), and (c) into one new subparagraph (a), which reads as follows:

(a) The right of men and women with disabilities of marriageable age to marry and found a family shall be recognized, and no marriage shall be entered into without the free and full consent of the intending spouses; (ICCPR Article 23.2 and 23.3)

Subsections (d), (e), and (f) would respectively become subsections (b), (c), and (d)

The Holy See notes that the substance of subsection (f) appears to be already covered in Article 5; however, Article 5 could be more specific and include the substance of the subsection currently found (f).
