3 women MPs of the “Civil Contract” faction of the RA National Assembly have presented a package of controversial projects, which downplays the role of the traditional family by adding the term partner. First of all, let’s remind what the family is according to the main law of the Republic of Armenia, the Constitution. In Article 16, in the Family Protection section, we read:
“The family, as a natural and basic cell of society, the basis of population maintenance and reproduction, as well as motherhood and childhood are under the special protection and patronage of the state.”
However, the three deputies of the RA government, Zaruhi Batoyan, Sona Ghazaryan and Tsovinar Vadanyan, have distorted the formulation of the family, which is considered the pillar of the state. The project on amendments and additions to the law “On prevention of domestic violence, protection of persons subjected to domestic violence and restoration of solidarity in the family” attempts to prevent domestic violence, but the definition of family has been expanded and the concepts of partner and partner have been added. In other words, homosexuality is secretly preached in the RA legislature during the rule of Nikol Pashinyan. The problems of the draft package were also noticed by the expert and analytical department of the staff of the National Assembly, concluding that “from the point of view of legal certainty, the concept of “partner” provided for by clause 10 of Article 4, part 1 of the Law provided for by Article 6 of the Draft will be problematic.” : The NA experts were also dismayed by Article 2 of the Law, which defines “family members”, whose participation creates family relations and can manifest violence in the family. Meanwhile, domestic relations are devoid of such certainty and the Draft does not define with the participation of which entities such relations arise.” National Assembly experts noticed that. “it will be up to the petitioner to decide whether the person who committed violence is or was the partner of the victim of violence, because the definition envisaged by the Draft is revealed only through evaluative categories, such as the term “love relationship”, which in objective reality can be interpreted by the law enforcer with subjective manifestations and cause arbitrary restrictions on the rights of individuals”.
In short, in the name of fighting violence in the family, the traditional and legal definitions of the family are changing. Sona Ghazaryan, Zaruhi Batoyan and Tsovinar Vardanyan proposed a change in the law in the article Domestic violence and its types, which are defined as follows. Crimes against sexual integrity and sexual freedom provided by the RA Criminal Code have been turned upside down.
The members of the CP planned to write in the following editorial: “sexual violence – acts of a sexual nature against a person’s will, including unwanted touching of a person’s genitals and body parts, involving a person in sexual acts with a third person, checking virginity, as well as the criminal code of the Republic of Armenia according to the Code, crimes against sexual freedom and sexual integrity”.
