The Institute of Family and Marriage
We consider the family as a foundation for sustainability and prosperity, for tolerance and equality, especially equality between women and men, an important pillar naturally providing safety and freedom from violence.
The mission of the Institute of Family and Marriage is to assist Families to resist and repel undue influences from threatening the integrity and wellbeing of each institution of the Family founded on Marriage and to monitor the organs of Government to ensure they provide support to the Family consistent with the recognition by the State in Bunreacht na hÉireann – the Irish Constitution of “the Family as the natural primary and fundamental unit group of Society, and as a moral institution possessing inalienable and imprescriptible rights, antecedent and superior to all positive law" and in accordance with the pledge therein recorded for the State, "to protect the Family in its constitution and authority, as the necessary basis of social order and as indispensable to the welfare of the Nation and the State” and “to guard with special care the institution of Marriage, on which the Family is founded, and to protect it against attack.”
