Explanation
Article 17 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights expressly provides that everyone has the right to own property and that no one shall be arbitrarily deprived of it. The UDHR does include provisions on marriage (Article 16) and on equal pay for equal work (Article 23). Since the right to property is part of the UDHR, the claim that it is not is the incorrect statement.
