Law of Disabled Love
Section 1.E of the Basic Rights states the basic marital and child-bearing rights of the mentally disabled. If the mentally disabled individual is self-supporting and can handle marital and family responsibilities, then the individual has the right to marry/raise children. This forfeits the right of annulment due to mental retardation. If the condition of the mentally retarded is hereditary, the individual is to receive genetic counseling to make certain that the individual has full understanding of the possible outcomes. If the retarded individual eventually become unqualified in raising his or her children, the situation is to be handled as if the individual was not mentally disabled.
