Article 229

De la Majorité

Civil Law
Titre X: De la Majorité, de l'Interdiction et du Conseil judiciaire (On Majority, Interdiction, and Judicial Counsel)
Chapitre I: De la Majorité (On Majority)

L'haïtien est majeur à vingt-un ans accomplis ; il jouit, à cet âge, de la plénitude de ses droits, sous la restriction portée au Titre V, du Mariage.

Life lesson: At twenty-one, the Haytian citizen comes into the fullness of his rights — except where marriage law still requires parental respect.
Notes: Age 21 = full majority. Cross-reference to Titre V marriage restrictions (acte respectueux required until 25 for men, 21 for women). Near-complete legal capacity with one notable exception.
