In the exam (Estonian)

Kati isa on vana ja haige ning vajab abi. Mida ütleb põhiseadus perekonna kohta?

  1. aThe family is required to care for its members who need help.Perekond on kohustatud hoolitsema oma abivajavate liikmete eest.Correct answer
  2. bHelp from the family is voluntary; the Constitution requires nothing about it.Perekonna abi on vabatahtlik, põhiseadus selle kohta midagi ei nõua.
  3. cThe state cares for a family member who needs help; the family has no such duty.Abivajava pereliikme eest hoolitseb riik, perekonnal seda kohustust ei ole.
  4. dThe family must care for its underage children, but not for its adult members.Perekond peab hoolitsema alaealiste laste eest, täiskasvanud pereliikmete eest aga mitte.

Why?

PS § 27 says that the family is required to care for its members who need help. So an adult child must also help a parent who needs help.

Translated with AI. In the exam the question is in Estonian, as shown above.
