E/CN.4/1995/91/Add.1 page 84 (4) The Muslim Marriage Act and the Hindu Marriage Act may be viewed as examples of accommodating within Jamaica other religious and attendant practices. In the rear of marriage, a marriage valid under other religions might, due to lack of compliance with regard to form or capacity under common law, be regarded as null and void under common law. This Act attempts to improve on that situation and is an example of a positive move to remove some amount of what might well be called discrimination." LUXEMBOURG 36. On 21 June 1994, the following general information was sent to the Special Rapporteur: "The Constitution of Luxembourg guarantees freedom of worship, freedom to practise religion in public, freedom of conscience and freedom to express one’s religious opinions. However, offences committed in connection with the exercise of these freedoms are punishable. Criminal penalties apply to persons who compel or prevent one or more persons from worshipping, from attending worship or from observing certain religious festivals or certain days of rest." MOROCCO 37. In July 1994, the Special Rapporteur received the following general information from the Permanent Mission of the Kingdom of Morocco to the United Nations Office at Geneva: "The Ministry for Awgaf and Islamic affairs has the honour to recall that the Constitution, line of conduct, legislation and traditions of the Kingdom of Morocco are all based on respect for human rights and are in harmony with the spirit of tolerance of Islamic law, which was the first to consecrate and encourage respect for human rights and to call for tolerance and coexistence within that spirit, before any constitutions, any texts of positive law or any international charters and declarations. Furthermore, since these principles are applied to Muslims and non-Muslims alike, under Islam the non-Muslim subjects of a Moslem State or a State of Moslem obedience enjoy the same rights and incur the same duties as Muslims. The State has to defend them in the same way as Muslim subjects and apply the same laws to both, except in the case of laws relating to religion, where the State respects the beliefs of non-Muslims. These principles are clearly embodied in the Koran, one verse of which states that there should be no constraint in religion and that right will be distinguished from wrong.
