Сімейний кодекс України №2947-III 2002, Статті 49, 50, 123, 136: право на материнство, право на батьківство та використання репродуктивних технологій (Family Code of Ukraine, arts. 49, 50, 123, 126: right to maternity, paternity, reproductive technology)
Articles 49, 50 of the Family Code of Ukraine refer the right to maternity and the right to parentage to the personal non-property rights of spouses. The term “maternity” means women’s legally guaranteed right to reproductive opportunity on (i.e., to give birth to children, raise them). The core of this personal non-property right is the wife's authority to decide whether or not to have a child. In addition, these articles establish that a woman's reluctance to have a child or her inability to conceive a child can be grounds for the dissolution of marriage.
