Key Resources

This article examines place and privacy as two key resources for producing kinship through an analysis of exceptional legal practices in Spain that overdetermine international adoptees’ Spanishness. Per Spanish law, minors internationally adopted by a Spanish parent are “Spanish by origin” (españoles de origen). Over and above this, however, Spain’s Civil Registry Law was modified in 2005 to allow internationally adoptive parents to officially change their child’s place of birth in the formal record. I draw on legal material about this change, as well as online posts by adoptive parents discussing it, to make two claims. First, I identify the significance of place as a key resource for the production of kinship—belonging to a Spanish family and nation. Second, I note the persistence of an ideology of secrecy or privacy surrounding the family that is linked to a history of illicit child circulations during the Franco era. I further show that documents are a key nexus mediating the place–kinship and privacy–kinship relations, requiring further attention to both legal documentation and the proliferation of public personal narratives, such as blog posts, as evidence of family dynamics.

The Creation

 Resumen: La ley española sólo ofrece dos posibles soluciones a los ciudadanos que constituyen una Kafala en un país islámico: el reconocimiento, sin más pretensiones, a través del artículo 34 LAI o la constitución de una nueva adopción en España conforme a la ley española. Ahora bien, el artículo 19.4 LAI impide la adopción cuando la ley nacional del adoptado la prohíba o no la contemple, lo que sucede en la mayor parte de los Estados musulmanes. Corresponde a los Tribunales españoles interpretar el sentido de esta prohibición, atendiendo las circunstancias del caso concreto y en particular, al grado de integración del menor en nuestro país, junto con las posibilidades de que se constituya una adopción claudicante.Palabras clave: adopción, Kafala, Ley de Adopción internacionalAbstract: Spanish law only offers two possible solutions to the citizens which constitute a Kafala on an Islamic country: the recognition, without more pretensions, through article 34 LAI or the creation of a new adoption in Spain in accordance with Spanish law.

Legal Nature

ResumenPese a su ubicuidad en la práctica contractual, las cláusulas de franquicia han recibido tratamiento incidental en la doctrina. La discusión sobre ellas se ha enfocado en los contratos de seguros de responsabilidad civil, y en la interpretación del artículo 76 de la Ley española de Contrato de Seguro. En este contexto se ha tratado de establecer si el asegurador puede o no oponer la cláusula de franquicia al tercero perjudicado. El presente trabajo analiza la cláusula de franquicia en la obligación principal del asegurador, su naturaleza jurídica, y examina su relación con los terceros perjudicados. La consideración principal a este respecto estará en si nos encontramos ante un seguro obligatorio o ante un seguro voluntario de responsabilidad civil. Palabras clave: Contrato de seguro; Cláusula de franquicia; Terceroperjudicado; Responsabilidad civil.AbstractDespite their ubiquity in contractual praxis, deductible clauses have received only incidental treatment in legal doctrine. Discussion on them has focused on civil liability insurance contracts, and the interpretation of article 76 of the Spanish Law of Insurance Contracts. In this context it has been attempted to establish whether the insurer can invoke the clause to oppose the injured third party's claim. This article examines the deductible clause included in the insurer's main obligation, its legal nature, and its relation to injured third parties. The main consideration in this regard will be whether the insurance contract is of a mandatory or voluntary nature.Keywords: Insurance contract; Deductible clause; Injured third party; Civil liability.
