  • Text:

    Este artigo baseia-se no artigo 12.o da CEDH, que tem a seguinte redacção: `A partir da idade núbil, o homem e a mulher têm o direito de se casar e de constituir família, segundo as leis nacionais que regem o exercício deste direito.` A redacção deste direito foi modernizada de modo a abranger os casos em que as legislações nacionais reconhecem outras formas de constituir família além do casamento. Este artigo não proíbe nem impõe a concessão do estatuto de casamento a uniões entre pessoas do mesmo sexo. Este direito, é pois, semelhante ao previsto pela CEDH, mas o seu âmbito pode ser mais alargado sempre que a legislação nacional o preveja.

    Council Resolution of 4 December 1997 on measures to be adopted on the combating of marriages of convenience

    1. For the purposes of this resolution, a 'marriage of convenience` means a marriage concluded between a national of a Member State or a third-country national legally resident in a Member State and a third-country national, with the sole aim of circumventing the rules on entry and residence of third-country nationals and obtaining for the third-country national a residence permit or authority to reside in a Member State.

    2. Factors which may provide grounds for believing that a marriage is one of convenience are in particular:

    - the fact that matrimonial cohabitation is not maintained,

    - the lack of an appropriate contribution to the responsibilities arising from the marriage,

    - the spouses have never met before their marriage,

    - the spouses are inconsistent about their respective personal details (name, address, nationality and job), about the circumstances of their first meeting, or about other important personal information concerning them,

    - the spouses do not speak a language understood by both,

    - a sum of money has been handed over in order for the marriage to be contracted (with the exception of money given in the form of a dowry in the case of nationals of countries where the provision of a dowry is common practice),

    - the past history of one or both of the spouses contains evidence of previous marriages of convenience or residence anomalies.

    In this context, such information may result from:

    - statements by those concerned or by third parties,

    - information from written documentation, or

    - information obtained from inquiries carried out.

    3. Where there are factors which support suspicions for believing that a marriage is one of convenience, Member States shall issue a residence permit or an authority to reside to the third-country national on the basis of the marriage only after the authorities competent under national law have checked that the marriage is not one of convenience, and that the other conditions relating to entry and residence have been fulfilled. Such checking may involve a separate interview with each of the two spouses.

    4. Should the authorities competent under national law find the marriage to be one of convenience, the residence permit or authority to reside granted on the basis of the third-country national's marriage shall as a general rule be withdrawn, revoked or not renewed.

    5. The third-country national shall have an opportunity to contest or to have reviewed, as provided for by national law, either before a court or before a competent administrative authority, a decision to refuse, withdraw, revoke or not renew a residence permit or authority to reside.

    6. Member States shall have regard to this resolution in any proposals to amend their national legislation. They shall furthermore endeavour to bring their national legislation into line with this resolution by 1 January 1999. The Council shall review the implementation of this resolution once a year, starting from 1 January 1999.

    Preamble:
    ‘8. [...] The right to equal recognition before the law implies that legal capacity is a universal attribute inherent in all persons by virtue of their humanity and must be upheld for persons with disabilities on an equal basis with others. Legal capacity is indispensable for the exercise of civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights. It acquires a special significance for persons with disabilities when they have to make fundamental decisions regarding their health, education and work. The denial of legal capacity to persons with disabilities has, in many cases, led to their being deprived of many fundamental rights, including the right to vote, the right to marry and found a family, reproductive rights, parental rights, the right to give consent for intimate relationships and medical treatment, and the right to liberty.‘
    ‘29. [...] (f) Support in decision-making must not be used as justification for limiting other fundamental rights of persons with disabilities, especially the right to vote, the right to marry, or establish a civil partnership, and found a family, reproductive rights, parental rights, the right to give consent for intimate relationships and medical treatment, and the right to liberty;‘
