Practice question
An adopting parent and the adopted child, with the adoption still effective, celebrate a locally valid foreign marriage. They argue the absence of blood relationship necessarily defeats every Article 26 exception. Which is correct?
- Article 38 separately prohibits the adopter-adopted-child marriage, so absence of blood relationship does not answer recognition
- Only blood relationships can ever be prohibited
- Every adoption disappears at the airport
- Local formal validity overrides all Article 38 provisions
- The marriage certificate rescinds the adoption
