Article 498
Computation of Degrees
(1)
In the direct line as many degrees are computed as there are generations, excluding the common ancestor. In the collateral line degrees are computed by generations, moving up from one of the relatives to the common ancestor and down from the latter to the other relative, always excluding the common ancestor.
#(2)
The law does not recognize any connection of consanguinity beyond the sixth degree except for certain specially determined purposes.
