Article 817-4Age of Persons Becoming Adoptive Parents

第八百十七条の四(養親となる者の年齢)

A person who has not attained 25 years of age may not become an adoptive parent; provided, however, that even if, in a married couple becoming adoptive parents, one of the parties to the marriage has not attained 25 years of age, so long as that party has attained 20 years of age, this does not apply.

二十五歳に達しない者は、養親となることができない。ただし、養親となる夫婦の一方が二十五歳に達していない場合においても、その者が二十歳に達しているときは、この限りでない。
