Neither of those is really a repercussion. When any other kind of contract is broken, it is considered a civil wrong.

Also, why should individual member states not be allowed to determine which freedom is "better"?
Surely, you know that conceptions of freedom differ among cultures.

No need for a complicated and conflicting legal system built up to oversee the contracting of mating relationships irrationally linked to economic and legal entanglements when each of these can be easily satisfied separately.
The argument presented in the proposal would indeed be persuasive, but it rests on entirely false premises. It attempts to equivocate a marital contract with those of employment or commerce, and should therefore have no special clauses, and yet in all the author's other pronouncements declares the uniqueness of this form of contract with some respect to "love, sex, etc." which could mean about a hundred different things if we know anything about you humans. The author further insists that this special variant of contract, higher than others due to aforementioned interpersonal connotations, should have its exit restricted on grounds diametrically opposed to those traits purported to elevate it. If it's so important for you humans to engage in this infinitely poorly-defined "love" to do so in a contract, how could you fail to accept that the loss of such "love" as unassailable grounds to terminate such a contract at will, and unconditionally?

I never thought I'd say this, but that spider snake makes a good point.
But there can be all kinds of non-"love" reasons for marriage, and it is a contractual relationship, so if folks want to contract to get married just to bang out a few kids and live in a middle-class suburban home they can't really afford, and they also want that contract to be subject to liquidated damages and a public walk of shame in the event of a breach, why not let them? That seems like something a lizard bug could get behind, right?

Christian Democrats wrote:GENERAL ASSEMBLY PROPOSAL
Repeal "The Right to a Lawful Divorce"
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
Category: Repeal | Resolution: GA#39 | Proposed by: (Image) Christian Democrats
The General Assembly,
Recalling that this Assembly, in Resolution 205, Freedom of Contract, affirmed "a fundamental right to liberty, which includes the freedom to choose, think, and act as an individual,"
Further recalling that this Assembly, in that same resolution, recognized that "a person's freedom to voluntarily and willfully make agreements with others is an important part of their fundamental right to liberty,"
Recognizing that Resolution 39, the Right to a Lawful Divorce, grants a spouse unfettered license to dissolve a marriage regardless of the terms of the marital contract to which that individual earlier agreed, How is requiring a court ruling to dissolve a marriage "unfettered license"?
Believing that Resolution 39 thus infringes on the fundamental liberty of contract because it requires that divorces be made available "without let or hindrance" irrespective of the terms that the spouses contracted out of their own individual sovereignty, The resolution doesn't say that divorces will be handed out to anyone who asks for one. It says that any married person may petition for a divorce, and the court must hear that petition.
Realizing that Resolution 39 unreasonably denies individuals their fundamental right to commit themselves voluntarily to interpersonal, romantic relationships with binding (legally enforceable) terms, including lifelong unions or even unions for shorter periods of time, since any party to a marriage can dissolve the contract whenever he or she wishes with no penalty whatsoever, No, they can't dissolve a marriage "whenever they please". They have to go to court in order to obtain a divorce, not just say "I divorce you!" three times in a row.
Expressing its vehement opposition to Resolution 39, a law that unjustly intervenes in personal romantic relationships, because it violates freedom of contract and freedom of choice: the liberty to choose the terms on which one enters a marital union, Bullshit. It has nothing to do with choosing a spouse.
Convinced that romantic partners who choose to marry are perfectly capable and should be allowed to determine freely the exit clauses of their own unions without unnecessary involvement by the national or subnational government, let alone an international body, And if their marriage "contract" doesn't include an exit clause?
Seeking to resolve the irreconcilable tension between the so-called right to divorce and the fundamental right to contract, Because contracts are never dissolved ever, nope!
Repeals Resolution 39, the Right to a Lawful Divorce.
