A quick definition of civil cognation:

Term: Civil Cognation

Definition: Civil cognation refers to a legal relationship between two people that is created by law, such as through adoption. It is different from a relationship created by marriage. Cognation in general refers to a relationship between people who are related by blood, either through the same mother or father. It can also refer to a similarity or likeness between people or things.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Civil cognation is a legal relationship between two people that arises through adoption or other legal means, rather than through blood or marriage.

Examples:

  • An adopted child and their adoptive parent have a relationship of civil cognation.
  • A step-sibling and their step-sibling do not have a relationship of civil cognation, as their relationship is based on marriage rather than legal adoption.

The examples illustrate the definition of civil cognation by showing that it is a legal relationship that is created through means other than blood or marriage. In the case of adoption, the relationship between the adoptive parent and child is legally recognized as being similar to a biological parent-child relationship, even though there is no genetic connection. This legal recognition of the relationship is what defines it as one of civil cognation.

There’s someone I found on here with the username threeoutchange and if my understanding is correct that’s a reference to the debut album by a pretty cool 90s-00s Japanese band called Supercar. I geeked a little
