Practice question: Parental Authority

Multiple Choice Medium

Practice question

A widowed mother remarries. No court has appointed another guardian, and no other ground for loss of authority exists. Does remarriage alone end her parental authority over her child?
  1. Yes, in favor of the new spouse
  2. Yes, in favor of the school
  3. Yes, in favor of any grandparent
  4. No; remarriage alone does not affect it under Article 212
  5. Yes, because surviving parents cannot remarry
