Canon 1134. From a valid marriage there arises between the spouses a bond which of its own nature is permanent and exclusive. Moreover, in christian marriage the spouses are by a special sacrament strengthened and, as it were, consecrated for the duties and the dignity of their state.

Ex valido matrimonio enascitur inter coniuges vinculum natura sua perpetuum et exclusivum; in matrimonio praeterea christiano coniuges ad sui status officia et dignitatem peculiari sacramento roborantur et veluti consecrantur.
Canon 1135. Each spouse has an equal obligation and right to whatever pertains to the partnership of conjugal life.

Utrique coniugi aequum officium et ius est ad ea quae pertinent ad consortium vitae coniugalis.
Canon 1136. Parents have the most grave obligation and the primary right to do all in their power to ensure their children’s physical, social, cultural, moral and religious upbringing.

Parentes officium gravissimum et ius primarium habent prolis educationem tum physicam, socialem et culturalem, tum moralem et religiosam pro viribus curandi.
Canon 1137. Children who are conceived or born of a valid or of a putative marriage are legitimate.

Legitimi sunt filii concepti aut nati ex matrimonio valido vel putativo.
Canon 1138. §1 The father is he who is identified by a lawful marriage, unless by clear arguments the contrary is proven.

§2 Children are presumed legitimate who are born at least 180 days after the date the marriage was celebrated, or within 300 days from the date of the dissolution of conjugal life.

§1. Pater is est, quem iustae nuptiae demonstrant, nisi evidentibus argumentis contrarium probetur.

§2. Legitimi praesumuntur filii, qui nati sunt saltem post dies 180 a die celebrati matrimonii, vel infra dies 300 a die dissolutae vitae coniugalis.
Canon 1139. Illegitimate children are legitimated by the subsequent marriage of their parents, whether valid or putative, or by a rescript of the Holy See.

Filii illegitimi legitimantur per subsequens matrimonium parentum sive validum sive putativum, vel per rescriptum Sanctae Sedis.
Canon 1140. As far as canonical effects are concerned, legitimated children are equivalent to legitimate children in all respects, unless it is otherwise expressly provided by the law.

Filii legitimati, ad effectus canonicos quod attinet, in omnibus aequiparantur legitimis, nisi aliud expresse iure cautum fuerit.
