Article 97
De la Filiation des Enfans légitimes ou nés dans le Mariage
Titre VI:
De la Paternité et de la Filiation
(On Paternity and Filiation)
Chapitre I:
De la Filiation des Enfans légitimes ou nés dans le Mariage
(On the Filiation of Legitimate Children or Those Born in Marriage)
Le père ne peut contester la légitimité de l'enfant conçu durant son union conjugale.
Life lesson:
A child conceived within marriage is legitimate — and the father may not say otherwise. The law shields the child from the father's doubt.
Notes:
Irrebuttable presumption of legitimacy for children conceived during marriage. The father has no standing to challenge paternity. Protects children's legal status and inheritance rights absolutely. A strong pro-child provision.
