Article 16 says: "Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry".

Article 2 says: "Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status."

In summary, Article 16 outlines marriage as a human right, and article 2 says ALL rights apply to everyone, without distinction of any kind, regardless of whether or not the specific article addresses a distinction.

Therefore, the right to marry cannot be denied to anyone because of gender or sexual orientation.
