Explanation of Article 15
After the system decided to classify individuals with respect to their legal capacity, this article determined that the provisions of guardianship and custody related to those who lack or have diminished capacity are subject to specific statutory texts, specifically the Personal Status Law.
The guardian may either be the father, who is the compulsory guardian, or someone appointed by the court as a guardian, whether it is a general or special guardianship. The custodian is someone appointed by the father as a custodian for his children during his lifetime in case of his incapacity, or after his death.
Guardianship may be over the person, which is the general supervision of the ward without conflicting with the authority of the custodian in managing the affairs of the ward, or over the property, which involves taking care of everything related to the ward's property.
As previously mentioned, the provisions of legal transactions by individuals or the effects of their material actions, whether they lack capacity or have diminished capacity, as well as the actions of their representatives, whether a guardian or custodian, are subject to the provisions of this system.
