Question
Obviously a parent can disown a child, but can a child disown a parent? --

Yes they can, when they reach the correct age; and please could somebody expand this article, as it is far too short for Wikipedia's Standards!

re: "In rare cases, a society and its institutions will accept an act of disownment."
The paragraph beginning with "In rare cases, a society and its institutions will accept an act of disownment" is just // bizarre.
I realize deleting the paragraph will leave almost nothing to this entry. That's no reason to keep it. It's an esoteric example meant to bolster the first sentence in the paragraph which, I do not think, is accurate.
I think disowning a child occurs in most cultures one way or another. No, I don't have any proof. But I'm not the one who made this far-reaching claim without anything to back it up except one weird example from the British Empire.
