Right vitiated?

[kumar17]

I know we use the word "violated" with "right"? Can the word vitiated be used with "right"?

Please decide whether you're asking about 'vitiated' or 'violated', then tell us what you want the phrase to mean.

Please include it in a complete sentence.

My doubt is regarding "vitiated". Eg: Whether trial by media vitiates the right to privacy of individuals concerned in a case.

That does not include the phrase 'right vitiated', which is your thread title.

I meant it like "right is vitiated". I am unable to edit the thread title. I apologize if the title is misleading.

"Vitiate", meaning to annul or impair, is commonly used in legal language with "contract", but not much with "right". I think "infringe" goes better with "right".

I think "violated" is the right word. You're asking if trial by media violates a person's right to privacy.

It certainly infringes on a person's privacy. Whether it violates that person's right to privacy is another matter.
