The rights belonging to all members enrolled in the Bahá'í community. These include the right to vote in Bahá'í elections, which is, at present, limited to members aged twenty-one and older, as well as other rights including attendance at the Nineteen Day Feast, serving on Bahá'í administrative bodies, the right to a Bahá'í marriage ceremony and to contribute to the Bahá'í Fund. When a believer persistently and flagrantly breaks Bahá'í law, the national spiritual assembly may, after repeated warnings, remove some or all of these administrative rights. Rights may be restored when the person shows repentance and corrects his behaviour. |
