The Constitution enshrines a number of rights and freedoms that are granted to citizens under 18 years of age. This category of people is referred to as children. They have the right to:

The inviolability of life - no one has the right to take it away;
For upbringing in a family - minor citizens must develop physically and spiritually, live with their parents;
On communication with parents - children must know the parents from whom they came. On this basis, legal relations arise that do not depend on various circumstances;
To express one's own opinion - at any age children are self-sufficient individuals, so their opinion is important when solving family issues;
To protect rights and interests - parents and the state are obliged to provide vital needs;
In the name - each person is assigned a first name, last name and patronymic;
To change a name - with the consent of the parents and approval of the guardianship and trusteeship authorities;
As for property - parents are obliged to support a minor in the amounts established by law.

Responsibility for well-beingof minors lies not only with the parents, but also with the state. Legislative measures regulate the rights of children, as well as their parents and guardians. Parents bear equal responsibility for life, development and upbringing. Whether they are married does not matter.
