Quote
"The State party must ensure that the rights guaranteed in article 12 are protected not only from public but also from private interference. In the case of women, this obligation to protect is particularly pertinent. For example, it is incompatible with article 12, paragraph 1, [freedom of movement] that the right of a woman to move freely and to choose her residence be made subject, by law or practice, to the decision of another person, including a relative."
