one's own choice

Brescia prosecutors are now trying Cheema’s father and brother in absentia on a novel charge: murder in violation of the political right to marry one’s own choice.

Squeamishness about one’s own choice of words is not among them.

It is one thing to suspend the senses during an operation, and quite another thing by one's own choice to pass into eternity without consciousness enough to commit the soul into its Father's hands.

For certain good and valuable considerations one might be induced to barter some of one’s own choice stock of privacy, but for myself I should insist on retaining enough to keep up my interest in telegrams.

But "the facts beyond one's own choice" do not yet allow it.
