The provisions of paragraph 1 shall be inapplicable if it appears that the man who is the husband or former husband engaged in sexual intercourse with the mother of the child during the pregnancy period under section 1539.
Section1541.The man who is the husband or former husband shall be prohibited from instituting an action for repudiation of the child according to section 1539 if it appears that, for registration of the birth, he notified the birth of the child as the father of the child or arranged for or allowed such notification.
Section1542.The man who is the husband or former husband must institute an action for repudiation of the child within one year from the birthday of the child. If he institutes the action after that, he must prove that he has just known of the birth of the child for a period not yet exceeding three months from the day of such knowledge. However, the action shall not be instituted upon the passage of ten years from the day of the birth of the child.
In the event that a court judgment declares that the child is not a legitimate child of the new husband according to section 1537 or section 1538, if the former husband who is presumed to be the legitimate father of the child according to section 1539 wants to institute an action for repudiation of the child, he shall institute the action within three months from the day he knows that the final judgment has been given. However, the action shall not be instituted upon the passage of ten years from the day of the birth of the child.
