Yes, we should and we must provide our support to the people with intellectual disabilities who express an interest in getting married. Marriage can provide support, love, joy, intimacy, sex and opportunities for giving and receiving. It can enhance their self-esteem and give them a sense of belonging. People with intellectual disability often experience repression and control of their sexuality as they have historically been perceived as being childlike and asexual by members of society. Such acts can be seen to contravene their Human Rights under The Convention on the Rights of Person with Disabilities (CRPD), which endorses the rights of people with intellectual disability to fully express their sexuality. That's why we should encourage them to get married.
