Mozambicans to have a better view of their country and its cultural values. Similarly, the government has taken measures to preserve and develop historic sites and monuments. Recently, the government approved a Monuments Policy (Ministers Council Resolution № 12/2010) and a Museums Policy (Ministers Council Resolution № 11/2010 of 2 June). 255.A number of bills were approved between 2000 and 2004 with a view to developing the cultural industry. Decree № 25/2002 of 22 October transformed the Cultural Heritage Archives (ARPAC) into a Social and Cultural Research Institute. A major challenge is how to guarantee the protection and promotion of the Mozambique’s various forms of cultural expression. Article 18: The Right to Establish a Family 256. In terms of the Charter, the family shall be the natural unit and basis of society. It shall be protected by the State which shall take care of its existence, ensure the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women and the protection of the rights of the woman and the child as stipulated in international declarations and conventions. The aged and the disabled shall also have the right to special protection measures in keeping with their physical or moral needs. 257.Article 119 of the CRM deals specifically with the right to establish a family: “ 1. Family is the fundamental link and the basis of every society; 2. In terms of the law, the State shall acknowledge and protect marriage as an institution that guarantees the continuation of family goals; 3. The State shall, within the framework of the development of social relations based on respect of the human person, enshrine the principle according to which marriage shall rest on mutual consent; 4. The law shall lay down the means of enhancing traditional and religious marriages, define marriage registration requirements and set out the consequences of marriage.” 258.This right is implicit in the chapter dealing with the acquisition of citizenship by marriage as provided in Article 26 of the CRM: “1. A foreigner shall acquire Mozambique citizenship if he or she has been married to a Mozambican for at least five years.” 259.Family Law № 10/2004 was approved in 2004 with a view to harmonizing the family law in force in the country with the Constitution and other international legal instruments, thereby eliminating any provisions permitting inequalities in family relations. 260.Article 1 of the Family Law says “family shall be the basis of society and the factor contributing to the socialization of the human person. The right of everyone to be part of a family and to establish a family shall be recognized”. 261.In terms of Article 7 of the CRM “marriage shall be a voluntary and singular union of one man and one woman for the purpose of establishing a family and living in perfect communion”. At the onset, it can be discerned that only monogamous marriages between people of different sexes shall be recognized. Combined Report from the Republic of Mozambique to the ACHPR, 1999-2010 46
