The Supreme Court decides: There is no qualified rape in case of adoptive relatives under the old adoption law

Under the old law, the adopted child cannot be considered as a relative of the ascendants and collaterals of the adopting parents. The relationship created is exclusively between the adopter and the adopted, and does not extend to the relatives of either.
