Spoštovani generalni tožilec Shketa,

Danes zakon Republike Slovenije dopušča krvno zvezo, vendar ne dovoljuje krvnih zakonskih zvez. Tako v Sloveniji sporazumno incest med odraslimi ni nezakonit, vendar slovenska zakonodaja diskriminira incestuse v odraslih odnosih s prepovedjo poroke, tudi če imajo otroke. To je nepošteno in škodljivo.
Wikipedia pravi: »Incest v Sloveniji ni kriminaliziran, razen če je ena oseba mladoletna. Oseba, ki ima spolne odnose z mladoletnim krvnim sorodnikom, se kaznuje z 2 leti zapora. " (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_incest#Slovenia
Državna himna Slovenije vsebuje besede
Božji blagoslov vsem narodom,
Kdo hrepeni in dela na ta svetel dan,
Ko o zemeljskem bivališču
Nobena vojna, noben prepir ne bo prevladoval;
Koga želite videti
Da so vsi ljudje svobodni
Ne bo več sovražnikov, bodo pa sosedje
(vir: http://www.lyricsondemand.com/miscellaneouslyrics/nationalanthemslyrics/slovenianationalanthemlyrics.html
Kako pa so lahko vsi Slovenci kdaj svobodni, če se nekateri med njimi nikoli ne smejo zakonito poročiti?
14. člen slovenske ustave določa:
"14. člen * (Enakost pred zakonom) V Sloveniji so vsem zagotovljene enake človekove pravice in temeljne svoboščine, ne glede na nacionalno poreklo, raso, spol, jezik, vero, politična ali druga prepričanja, materialni status, rojstvo, izobrazbo, socialni status., Invalidnost oz. kakršne koli druge osebne okoliščine. Pred zakonom so vsi enaki. "
https://www.us-rs.si/media/constitution.pdf

Danes v Sloveniji ljudje v odnosih CIAO (Consensual Adult Incest Oriented) niso enaki pred zakonom, ker jim zakon prepoveduje sklenitev zakonske zveze, medtem ko zakon ne preprečuje, da bi se drugi Slovenci poročili. Ljudje iz države Ciao se v Sloveniji ne morejo poročiti, čeprav v odnosih s CIAO niso krivi kršenja nobenega drugega zakona. Dejstvo, da če se želijo poročiti, jim pušča drugorazredne državljane v njihovi državi, ne glede na to, iz katere družbene ravni prihajajo. Ljudje CIAO imajo lahko otroke in ti otroci morajo imeti enake zakonske pravice in enako zaščito kot vsi ostali. To vključuje pravico do zakonske zveze staršev. Ljudje CIAO in njihovi otroci ne smejo biti izpostavljeni samovoljni vladni diskriminaciji in nepravični socialni stigmi ali institucionalni incestofobiji. Imeti morajo enake pravice kot ne smejo biti pravice, ki jih uživajo drugi odrasli v sporazumnih odnosih.: pravica do zakonske zveze in pravica do matere in očeta med seboj zakonito poročena.

Vsi ljudje iz CIAO se morda ne bodo želeli poročiti, toda tisti, ki to storijo, bi morali to imeti. Če jim zavrnejo dovoljenje za sklenitev zakonske zveze, je to kršitev njihovih državljanskih in človekovih pravic, njihovo ravnanje z njimi pa je drugačno od drugih, diskriminatorno do njih, kar jim odvzema njihovo ustavno pravico do enakih pravic in enakega obravnavanja po zakonu.
V 15. členu slovenske ustave se delno glasi:
<< Zagotovljeno mora biti sodno varstvo človekovih pravic in temeljnih svoboščin ter pravica do nadomestila za kršitve takih pravic in svoboščin. Nobene človekove pravice ali temeljne svoboščine, urejene z veljavnimi pravnimi akti v Sloveniji, ni mogoče omejiti z utemeljitvijo, da ta ustava te pravice ali svobode ne priznava ali v manjši meri.
Glede na zgoraj navedeno bi lahko kot generalni državni tožilec sprožili potrebne reforme slovenske zakonodaje, da bi bile v Sloveniji zakonske zveze zakonite, tako da bi lahko ljudje iz CIAO, ki se želijo poročiti, v prihodnosti to počeli pod enakimi pogoji kot vsi drugi. Slovenski državljani.
Hvaležni vam bomo za pomoč pri tej zadevi.
Vnaprej se v imenu ljudi iz CIAO zahvaljujem povsod danes in v prihodnosti.

S spoštovanjem,

Dear Attorney General Šketa,

Today, the law in the Republic of Slovenia permits consanguineous relationships but it does not allow consanguineous marriage. Thus, incest between consenting adults is not illegal in Slovenia but Slovenian law discriminates against incestuously oriented people in adult relationships by prohibiting them from marrying, even if they have children. This is unfair and harmful.
Wikipedia says "Incest in Slovenia is not criminally prohibited unless one person is a minor. A person who has sexual relations with a blood relation minor is punished to 2 years in prison." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_incest#Slovenia )
Slovenia's national anthem contains the lyrics
God's blessing on all nations,
Who long and work for that bright day,
When o'er earth's habitation
No war, no strife shall hold its sway;
Who long to see
That all man are free
No more shall foes, but neighbours be
(source: http://www.lyricsondemand.com/miscellaneouslyrics/nationalanthemslyrics/slovenianationalanthemlyrics.html )
But how can all Slovenes ever be free if some of them are never allowed to marry legally?
Article 14 of the Slovenian Constitution says:
"Article 14*(Equality before the Law)In Slovenia everyone shall be guaranteed equal human rights and fundamental freedoms irrespective of national origin, race, sex, language, religion, political,or other conviction, material standing, birth, education, social status, disability,or any other personal circumstance.All are equal before the law."
https://www.us-rs.si/media/constitution.pdf

Today in Slovenia, however, people in CIAO relationships ( Consensual Adult Incest Oriented ) people are not equal before the law because the law stops them from marrying while it does not stop anyone else from marrying. Ciao people cannot marry in Slovenia, though they are not guilty of breaking any other law by being in CIAO relationships. That fact, if they want to marry, leaves them as a second class-citizens in their own country, no matter what level of society they come from. CIAO people can have children and these children must have the same legal rights and the same protection as everyone else.. That includes the right to have legally married parents. CIAO people and their children should not be subjected to arbitrary state discrimination and unfair social stigma or institutional incestophobia and they should not be deprived of rights that others have who are in consensual adult relationships : the right to marry, and the right to have a mother and a father who are legally married to each other.

Not all CIAO people may want to marry, but those who wish to should be permitted to do so. To refuse to allow them to marry is a breach of their civil and human rights, and to treat them as different from other people is to discriminate against them and this denies them their constitutional right to equal rights and equal treatment under the law.
Article 15 of the Slovenian Constitution says in part that..
"Judicial protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms, and the right to obtain redress for the violation of such rights and freedoms, shall be guaranteed. No human right or fundamental freedom regulated by legal acts in force in Slovenia may be restricted on the grounds that this Constitution does not recognize that right or freedom or recognizes it to a lesser extent."
In view of the above, as Prosecutor General, the necessary reforms of Slovenian legislation could be initiated to make consanguineous marriages legal in Slovenia, so that CIAO people who want to get married could do so in the future under the same conditions as everyone else.
We will be grateful for your help in this matter.
I thank you in advance on behalf of the signers of this petition and of CIAO people everywhere today and in the future.
Your help in this matter will be most appreciated.

With respect,
