Jogoktól

Jogoktól is a Hungarian grammatical form formed from the noun jogok (rights or laws) with the postposition -tól meaning from. In this construction, jogoktól functions to indicate origin, source, or removal in relation to a set of rights. It is not a standalone concept, but a case-form used in legal or political language to specify what something is coming from or being taken away from.

In practice, jogoktól appears in phrases that express deprivation, withdrawal, or dependence on rights. It is commonly found in contexts such as deprivation of rights or actions taken with respect to rights. For example: A polgárok jogaitól megfosztották őket. (They were deprived of the citizens’ rights.) A jogoktól való megfosztás jogellenes lehet. (Deprivation of rights can be illegal.) The form can also appear with other constructions to emphasize source, such as a statement about withdrawal from rights or standards.

The form is distinct from jogokról, which means “about the rights,” and generally marks topic or reference rather than source or deprivation. While jogoktól appears mainly in formal or legal texts, understanding its function helps clarify who or what is derived from or separated from a set of rights.
