Article 798Adoption of a Minor

第七百九十八条(未成年者を養子とする縁組)

A person must obtain the permission of the family court in order to adopt a minor; provided, however, that this does not apply if the person to be adopted is the lineal descendant of either the adoptive parent or the adoptive parent's spouse.

未成年者を養子とするには、家庭裁判所の許可を得なければならない。ただし、自己又は配偶者の直系卑属を養子とする場合は、この限りでない。
