Article 169 of the penal code imposes a ban on sexual contacts with a person, who is fully or to a significant degree deprived of the ability to recognize the meaning of his/her actions or to control his/her behaviour. A partner of a mentally retarded or mentally ill person, who engages fully in biologically and culturally appropriate sexual activity, can become criminally liable, receiving up to 10 years of freedom loss. The freedom of the insane and persons with strongly diminished mental ability is supposed to be a protected "good". The Polish Psychiatric Society tabled a motion in favour of abolishing this regulation, but the penal code reform committee did not accept this postulate. It is worth noting that sexual partnership constitutes both for men and women an irreplaceable human right. Nature itself does not exclude the mentally ill from the mystery of life which is unpredictable in its destiny. It should be added that some of the mentally ill identify hope for further living with the hope of keeping an intimate partnership.
《刑法》第169条规定，禁止与完全或在很大程度上丧失认识自己行为意义或控制自己行为能力的人发生性接触。与智障或精神病患者的伴侣如果完全参与符合生物学和文化规范的性活动，可能会承担刑事责任，最高可被剥夺10年自由。精神错乱者和精神能力严重减退者的自由被视为一种受保护的“权益”。波兰精神病学会提出了一项废除该规定的动议，但刑法改革委员会没有接受这一主张。值得注意的是，性伴侣关系对男性和女性来说都是一项不可替代的人权。大自然本身并不将精神病患者排除在命运难以预测的生命奥秘之外。还应该补充的是，一些精神病患者将继续生活的希望寄托于维持亲密伴侣关系的希望。
