Marriage Is a Human Right

"Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status...." (Article 2, Universal Declaration of Huma n Rights.)

"Men and women of full age, without any limitations due to race, nationality, or religion, have the right to marry and found a family....Marriage shall be entered into only with the free and full consent of the intending spouses." (Article 16, [1] and [2] Universal Declaration of Human Rights.)

Certain states arbitrarily prohibit marriage due to religious laws (Jewish and Muslim), sexual discrimination, refugee status, etc. As Member-States of the United Nations, however, they are obliged to "observe and respect fundamental human rights." (UN Charter, article 55 & 56).

Human rights, however, must be claimed by the humans concerned.

Registered citizens of the World Government of World Citizens can now apply for an application form for a World Marriage Certificate based on the above human rights.

Recently Russian refugee residents of Israel prohibited from marrying by the strict orthodox Jewish laws have discovered this unique global service of the WGWC through its agency, the World Service Authority(R).

The WSA has issued over 30 World Marriage Certificates to non-Jewish Israeli residents since May, 1999. All recipients receive a copy of the UDHR in either English, Russian, Arabic or Hebrew.

The application form can be downloaded from this Website. (See Documents).
