  • Article 16 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) outlines rights related to marriage and family.
  • These provisions have implications for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR).
  • Conventional interpretations of family structures can influence SRHR service provision.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the influence of UDHR Article 16 on SRHR.
  • To assess the impact of specific clauses (right to marry, consent, family definition) on SRHR services.
  • To examine the adaptability of Article 16 to contemporary social and technological advancements.

Main Methods:

  • Document analysis of human rights instruments.
  • Legal and policy review of SRHR developments.
