La autoridad paterna, más allá de la patria potestad

Abstract

The following article is the result of a monograph paper presented as requirement for the graduation from both Law and Psychology. It goes through the verdicts from the Constitutional Court on the issue of parental rights and their relationship to parenthood, as an expression of a social kinship. Parental rights are considered to be an indispensable, inalienable, nontransferable, and temporary rule of public order whether there is love or indifference among parents or from parents to their children.
