Disowning a Child by Parents: Does It Terminate the Parent-Child Relationship?
According to Article 69 of the 2014 Law on Marriage and Family, the obligations and rights of parents are stipulated as follows:
Love their children, respect their children's opinions; take care of their learning and education to help them develop soundly in terms of physical health, intellect, and morality, becoming dutiful children to the family and beneficial citizens to society.
Supervise, nurture, care for, and protect the lawful rights and interests of minor children, and adult children who have lost civil act capacity or are incapable of working and do not have the means to support themselves.
Act as guardians or representatives in accordance with the Civil Code for minor children, and adult children who have lost civil act capacity.
Not discriminate against children based on gender or the marital status of the parents; not exploit the labor of minor children, or adult children who have lost civil act capacity or are incapable of working; not incite or force children to engage in unlawful or immoral activities.
Therefore, it can be said that the relationship between biological parents and biological children cannot be terminated. On the other hand, the current law only stipulates the termination of the relationship between adoptive parents and adopted children when there is a court decision in certain cases. Regardless of any reason, even renouncing the child, the relationship between parents and children is not terminated.
Respectfully!
