English translation

In cases where a child's parentage is established by the marital-bed presumption in a subsisting or dissolved valid marriage, or by consummation in a defective marriage or intercourse under a mistaken belief of lawfulness, the man may deny the child's parentage from him within seven days from the time of birth or knowledge thereof, provided that he has not acknowledged parentage expressly or implicitly.
