Adoption

(1) As a general rule, a marriage is not to be entered into between persons whose relationship in the meaning of section 1307 was created by adoption. This does not apply if the adoption relationship has been dissolved.

(2) The family court may, on application, grant exemption from this provision if the adoption created a collateral relationship between the applicant and their future spouse. As a rule, the exemption is to be refused if compelling reasons contravene the marriage’s being entered into.
