Why do they say "men and women"? According to your wishes they would have to say "Humans of full age...". It is also interesting to see that rejected limitations include 'race, nationality..' but not sex.

>Article 16 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights declares that "Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and to found a family. They are entitled to equal rights as to marriage, during marriage and at its dissolution. Marriage shall be entered into only with the free and full consent of the intending spouses."
