1 - A person of deficient capacity is not precluded from invoking his deficient capacity, as prescribed by law, by having claimed to possess capacity. 2 - However, if the minor, in order to conceal his deficient capacity, resorts to fraudulent methods such as to induce the belief that he possesses capacity, he shall be obliged to compensate the person who contracted with him for the damage resulting to that person from annulment. - The judge may, by way of the compensation due under the preceding paragraph, rule to dismiss the action for annulment.

1 - لا يمنع ناقص الأهلية من أن يتمسك بنقص أهليته, على نحـو مـا يـقـضـي بـه القانون ، أن يكون قد ادعى توافر الأهلية لديه. ٢ - على أنه إذا لجأ القاصر, في سبيل إخفاء نقص أهليته، إلى طرق تدليسيه، من شأنها أن تحمل على الاعتقاد بتوافر الأهلية لديه, كان ملتزما بتعويض من تعاقد معه عما يرتبه له الإبطال من ضرر. - ويجوز للقاضي, على سبيل التعويض المستحق وفقا للفقرة السابقة, أن يقضي برفض دعوى الإبطال.
