Article 796Adoption Involving a Spouse

第七百九十六条(配偶者のある者の縁組)

One spouse may only adopt or be adopted by another with the consent of the other spouse; provided, however, that this does not apply if one spouse adopts or is adopted by another together with the other spouse, or if the other spouse is incapable of manifesting an intention.

配偶者のある者が縁組をするには、その配偶者の同意を得なければならない。ただし、配偶者とともに縁組をする場合又は配偶者がその意思を表示することができない場合は、この限りでない。
