Article 806-3Annulment of an Adoption Effected Without the Consent of the Person Entitled to Custody of the Child

第八百六条の三(子の監護をすべき者の同意のない縁組等の取消し)

A person not consenting to an adoption that violates the provisions of Article 797, paragraph (2) may request the family court to annul the adoption; provided, however, that this does not apply if the person ratifies the adoption, nor does it apply if, after the adopted child reaches the age of 15, six months are allowed to pass or the child ratifies the adoption.

第七百九十七条第二項の規定に違反した縁組は、縁組の同意をしていない者から、その取消しを家庭裁判所に請求することができる。ただし、その者が追認をしたとき、又は養子が十五歳に達した後六箇月を経過し、若しくは追認をしたときは、この限りでない。

The provisions of paragraph (2) of the preceding Article apply mutatis mutandis to consent as referred to in Article 797, paragraph (2) that is given due to fraud or duress.

前条第二項の規定は、詐欺又は強迫によって第七百九十七条第二項の同意をした者について準用する。
