If a person being adopted is under 15 years of age, the legal representative thereof may give consent to the child's adoption on behalf thereof.
養子となる者が十五歳未満であるときは、その法定代理人が、これに代わって、縁組の承諾をすることができる。
If the person being adopted has another parent that is entitled to custody thereof, the legal representative must obtain the consent of that parent before giving the consent referred to in the preceding paragraph. The same applies if a parent's parental authority in respect of the person being adopted has been suspended.
法定代理人が前項の承諾をするには、養子となる者の父母でその監護をすべき者であるものが他にあるときは、その同意を得なければならない。養子となる者の父母で親権を停止されているものがあるときも、同様とする。
If, even though the adoption referred to in paragraph (1) is particularly necessary for the interests of the child, a parent of the person to be adopted who is to have custody of the person does not consent to the adoption, the family court may, at the request of the legal representative of the person to be adopted, grant permission in lieu of that consent. The same applies if, even though the adoption referred to in that paragraph is particularly necessary for the interests of the child, a parent of the person to be adopted whose parental authority has been suspended does not consent to the adoption.
The family court that has received the request prescribed in Article 824-2, paragraph (3) concerning the exercise of parental authority relating to the consent under paragraph (1) may issue a ruling under paragraph (3) of that Article only if it finds that the adoption referred to in paragraph (1) is particularly necessary for the interests of the child.
第一項の承諾に係る親権の行使について第八百二十四条の二第三項に規定する請求を受けた家庭裁判所は、第一項の縁組をすることが子の利益のため特に必要であると認めるときに限り、同条第三項の規定による審判をすることができる。
