Question juridique clé
Whether consent of the biological parents is required when the child becomes adult during adoption proceedings under Art. 268 Abs. 3 ZGB.
Solution extraite
No. If the child becomes of age after the adoption petition is filed, the rules on adoption of minors continue to apply, except for parental consent.
Motifs extraits
The wording, purpose, and legislative context show that Art. 268 Abs. 3 ZGB is meant to prevent procedural disadvantages for the child, not to preserve parental veto rights once the child has reached majority.
