If a party who has not reached the age of twenty five years is to effect a dissolution of adoption by mutual consent, the consent is required of those persons who would have the right of consent to an adoption according to Art. 844.

In such case the provisions of Arts. 772, 2, 3, and 773 apply correspondingly.

The provisions of Arts. 774 and 775 apply correspondingly to a dissolution of adoption by mutual consent.

The registrar must not accept the notification of a dissolution of adoption, until he has ascertained that it is not contrary to the provisions of Arts. 775, 2, 862 and 863 or to other laws or regulations.

If the registrar accepts the notification in contravention of the foregoing provisions, the dissolution of the adoption is nevertheless valid.

Either party to the adoption, as the case may be, can bring an action to dissolve an adoption only in the following cases:—

1. If he is illtreated or grossly insulted by the other party;
2. If he is deserted by the other party;
3. If he is illtreated or grossly insulted by an ascendant of the adopter;
4. If the other party is sentenced to major imprisonment of one year or more;
