Recommendation
CRPD expressed concern that family law (Commercial and Civil Code, book V) prevented some persons with disabilities from marrying and founding a family, and that parents of children with disabilities encountered obstacles to gaining access to specific support for exercising their parental responsibilities and preventing abandonment. It recommended that Thailand repeal section 1449 and related provisions of the family law that discriminated against certain persons with disabilities with respect to their right to marry and found a family, and that it increase the availability of early and comprehensive information, services and support to children with disabilities and their families.
