The person becoming an adoptive parent must have a spouse.
養親となる者は、配偶者のある者でなければならない。
One party to a marriage may not become an adoptive parent unless the other party to the marriage also becomes an adoptive parent; provided, however, that this does not apply if one party to a marriage becomes the adoptive parent of the child in wedlock of the other party to the marriage (but not of a child adopted other than through a special adoption).
夫婦の一方は、他の一方が養親とならないときは、養親となることができない。ただし、夫婦の一方が他の一方の嫡出である子（特別養子縁組以外の縁組による養子を除く。）の養親となる場合は、この限りでない。
