| Parental authority over recognized natural children who were under the age of majority was vested in the father or the mother recognizing them.[17] If both acknowledge the child, authority was to be exercised by the one to whom it was awarded by the courts; if it was awarded to both, the rule as to legitimate children applied. In other words, in the latter case, parental authority resided jointly in the father and the mother.[18] | |||||
