State protection

The State is obliged to protect your human right to a private and family life. It should not interfere with your decision and allow you to create and maintain a relationship with your family members and not interfere with your choices and decisions relating to them.

At the same time, the State may have a positive obligation to adopt specific measures to allow you to enjoy your private and family life, such as marriage and adoption procedures. Constitution of the Republic of Lithuania also obliges the State to take care of families raising and bringing up children at home and render them support according to the procedure established by law. For example, working mothers are granted paid leave before and after childbirth.
