The right to be alone, to the couple, to the family and to love in Colombia and some latin american countries

Abstract

This article shows the results of the research carried out about the right to love from the legal perspective, with respect to intimate personal relationships. As part of the conclusion, the right to be alone is recognized, as well as, the right to have a partner, which can be identified through three aspects: sexuality, marriage and possession; but, in addition, the article emphasizes the findings of the research about the use of love as a strategy of war. The family is derived from the love of a couple, which in turn manifests into children’s right to receive love, the obligation of the parents to give it, the role of love in human development, and the love that children receive from other relatives such as grandparents and siblings; as well as the right to love that people have even if they are deprived of their liberty.
