Social science research focuses on outcomes such as well-being and health. In contrast, rights-based legal theory considers whether state action undermines the rights of individuals. In this article, I intend to shift the debate over marriage promotion policy from questions of child well-being to questions of individual rights. I will ask the following questions: Do individuals have a liberty interest in making their own choices about intimate relationships, such as marriage? Do federally-financed (and frequently state-run) marriage programs compromise this liberty interest? Are there any constitutional grounds for objecting to marriage promotion policy? - Reproduced. aMarriage aPolicy Sciences aN a76411 c76411d76411 00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 40, Issue no: 3pAR76871r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
