The Right to Family in National Constitutions.

Constitutions are dynamic instruments that adapt to changes in society. A family plays a key role in social stability, generation continuity and national development. Worldwide, the constitutions increasingly recognize the family as a particular legal institution that needs state protection. The aim of the review is to make a comparative study of the concept of the family and its protection and support in the national constitutions of seventy countries. The author analyzes how different legal systems define, regulate and implement the right to family life. By means of comparative analysis, the study distinguishes three family models: traditional (marriage-centric), dynamic (with different types of family units) and neutral (protection through universal human rights). This shows that, despite consensus on the balance between traditional values and changing social conditions, there are still significant differences in the legal interpretation of the right to family. The review notes progress in recognizing the right to family life in the constitutions, but the practical implementation also depends on national legislation and legal mechanisms to ensure the family protection and support.
