Article 734Prohibition of Marriage between Close Relatives

第七百三十四条(近親者間の婚姻の禁止)

Lineal blood relatives may not marry, nor may collateral blood relatives of up to the third degree of kinship; provided, however that this does not apply with respect to a marriage between an adopted child and a collateral blood relative through adoption.

直系血族又は三親等内の傍系血族の間では、婚姻をすることができない。ただし、養子と養方の傍系血族との間では、この限りでない。

The preceding paragraph also applies after kinship is terminated pursuant to the provisions of Article 817-9.

第八百十七条の九の規定により親族関係が終了した後も、前項と同様とする。
