Abstract EN:
French and brazilian law are both based on the same general provisions : napoleonic code. By comparing two legal systems with regard to the present situation of children born out of wedlock, we are able to evaluate the how the legislations of the two countries have improved the situation of these children. The purpose of this study is to judge how the principle of equality of filiation is dealt with in practice in these two countries. The principle of non-differentiation of filiation was introduced into french law in 1972. Nevertheless, this reform has reatined certain restrictions concerning the rights of some children born out of wedlock. Brazilian law has recently undergone a reform wich substantially changed the situation of children born out of wedlock by effectively eliminating any prior discrimination against the illegitimate child. Henceforth, all children have the same rights. The different circumstances which might characterise the situation of a child born out of wedlock are presented along with the various legal means used to determine the filiation of the child and to confer him or her with the same rights as that of a legitimate child.
