Canon 910

1. An adult person enjoys the full use of his or her rights.

2. In the exercise of his or her rights, a minor person is under the authority of parents or guardians, with the exception of

those areas in which minors by divine or canon law are exempt

from their power; with reference to the designation of guardians,

the prescriptions of the civil law are to be followed, unless the

common law or the particular law of the Church sui iuris determines otherwise, with due regard for the right of the eparchial

bishop, to designate guardians himself if it is necessary.
