Eliminating discrimination against women in cultural and family life, with a focus on the family as a cultural space 2015, para. 30
Párrafo
Paragraph text
When the rules governing family relations discriminate against women, they violate international human rights law. Furthermore, considerations linked to protecting and strengthening the family may not be invoked to justify forms of family that do not meet the requirement for equality between men and women and girls and boys. The lack of equality in these forms of marriage leads women and girls to experience discrimination, making them vulnerable to domestic violence.
