Not in force
541.17. If the woman or the person who gave birth to the child disappears with the child before expressing their will concerning the establishment of the child’s filiation or refuses to have their bond of filiation with regard to the child be deemed never to have existed and to have a bond of filiation be established with regard to the person alone or both spouses who formed the parental project, as the case may be, the filiation of the child is established in accordance with the rules of filiation by acknowledgement or by blood.
However, the presumption with regard to the spouse of the woman or person who gave birth to the child does not apply. Furthermore, no bond of filiation may be established with regard to the person who has agreed to provide their reproductive material as a third person for the purposes of the project.
