Can a Biological Father Renounce His Parental Rights to His Biological Child?
Different from the nature and basis for forming an adoptive relationship, the relationship between biological parents and their biological children is formed naturally through blood relations. This is a natural law, with enduring characteristics; therefore, a blood relationship cannot end according to the subjective will of individuals. Consequently, the Law on Marriage and Family 2014 does not provide for the issue of biological fathers renouncing their biological children.
Article 69 of the Law on Marriage and Family 2014 stipulates the obligations and rights of parents as follows:
Love children, respect their opinions; ensure their education and development in a healthy manner, physically, intellectually, and morally to become dutiful offspring and beneficial citizens for society.
Supervise, nurture, care for, and protect the rights and lawful interests of minors, adults who have lost civil act capacity, or those who cannot work and do not have assets to support themselves.
Act as guardians or representatives according to the Civil Code for minors, or adults who have lost civil act capacity.
Do not discriminate against children based on gender or the marital status of their parents; do not exploit child labor of minors or adults who have lost civil act capacity or cannot work; do not incite or force children to engage in illegal activities or actions against social morals.
Thus, if there are currently many disagreements in the father-child relationship, time is needed for resolution. The family will apply necessary measures to suitably educate the child, and the law does not permit renouncing the child in this situation.
Sincerely!
