Marital captivity is a complex social phenomenon that, predominantly, affects women. It involves a situation wherein the dissolution of a religious and/or legal marriage is obscured for religious reasons, consequently forcing the spouse(s) to remain in the marriage against their will. It involves multiple stakeholders (i.e. the trapped spouse, the opposing or recalcitrant spouse, the religious communities and one or more States). Within situations of marital captivity, all involved stakeholders have rights and interests which are often in conflict with one another. Unfortunately, holistic and effective solutions to end existing situations of marital captivity and prevent new situations from arising have yet to be developed. The human rights discourse advanced in this book shows that a human rights centred approach is imperative for the process of finding effective solutions to end marital captivity. Applying the human rights legal framework enables to objectively consider, balance and resolve the conflicting rights and interests inherent within situations of marital captivity. It also reveals how a select number of human rights and principles are affected within situations of marital captivity and offers an overview of States' positive obligations to protect and ensure these rights. The implied human rights obligations are discussed within the context of marital captivity so as to identify and formulate specific States' obligations to address marital captivity. 650 0 $a Separation (Law) $x Religious aspects. 650 0 $a Marriage law. 650 0 $a Marriage $x Religious aspects. 650 0 $a Human rights. 650 7 $a Human rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963285 650 7 $a Marriage law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01010611 650 7 $a Marriage $x Religious aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01010485 650 7 $a Separation (Law) $x Religious aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01112712 830 0 $a Human rights research series ; $v v. 86. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721015544.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A11FB0D2129911EBB48536AA50ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
