A minor child can carry on an occupation only with the permission of the parent exercising the parental power. Such permission may be withdrawn or restricted in the case mentioned in Art. 6, 2.

The parent exercising the parental power has the management of the property of the minor child and represents him in all juristic acts relating to his property; but the consent of the child is necessary whenever an obligation would arise whose subject is an act to be done by the child.

If a minor child has the management of the property of his or her wife or husband, such management is conducted in his place by the parent exercising the parental power.

If a mother exercises the parental power, the consent of the family council is required for doing the following acts herself in the place of the minor child or for consenting to the child’s doing them:—

1. Carrying on business;
2. Contracting a loan or giving security;
3. Any act whose object is the extinction of a right in an immovable or in a valuable movable;
4. Making a compromise or an agreement for arbitration in respect to an immovable or a valuable movable;
5. Refusing a succession;
6. Refusing a gift or a legacy.
