“Section1557.Legitimacy of the child under section 1547 takes effect from the day of the birth of the child, but this shall not be invoked to the prejudice of the rights of a third party who acted in good faith during the time from the birth of the child to the marriage of the father and mother, or the registration of the child by the father, or the giving of the final judgment by a court declaring the child to be his child.”
Section7.The provisions of section 1598/37 of the Civil and Commercial Code, which have been amended by the Civil and Commercial Code Amendment Act (No 10), 2533 BE, shall be repealed and replaced by the following provisions:
“Section1598/37.Upon the death of the adopter or recission of the adoption, if the adopted child has not yet attained majority, the biological father and mother shall be restored to the parental power from the time the adopter died, or from the time the recission of the adoption is registered according to section 1598/31, or from the time the court gave the final judgment granting the recission, save where the court finds it appropriate to give a different order.
In the event that a guardian has been appointed since before the death of the adopter or before the recission of the adoption, the guardian shall continue to have the same powers and duties, save where a court gives an order permitting the biological father and mother to exercise the parental power at their request.
Change of the person exercising the parental power under paragraph 1 or the guardian under paragraph 2 shall not prejudice the rights acquired in good faith by a third party before the adopter died or before the recission of the adoption is registered.
A public prosecutor shall have the power to request a court for a different order according to paragraph 1.”
