弗吉尼亚州最高法院支持美国海军陆战队夫妇领养阿富汗孤儿, Virginia Supreme Court upholds adoption of Afghan orphan by U.S. Marine couple, rejecting family challenges.

维吉尼亚州最高法院裁定,美国海军陆战队的Joshua Mast及其妻子Stephanie可以保留他们于2020年收养的阿富汗孤儿的监护权,尽管她的阿富汗亲属提出了挑战,但仍坚持收养。 The Virginia Supreme Court ruled that U.S. Marine Maj. Joshua Mast and his wife Stephanie may keep custody of an Afghan orphan they adopted in 2020, upholding the adoption despite challenges from her Afghan relatives. 这名儿童在2019年美国一次军事袭击中受伤,造成她的家人死亡,最初被送到阿富汗当局和红十字会检查过的阿富汗亲属那里。 The child, injured in a 2019 U.S. military raid that killed her family, was initially placed with Afghan relatives vetted by Afghan authorities and the Red Cross. 塔利班接管后,马斯特人在美国撤军期间把她从弗吉尼亚一个重新安置中心带走。 After the Taliban takeover, the Masts took her from a Virginia resettlement center during the U.S. withdrawal. 弗吉尼亚州法律禁止6个月后对收养提出质疑,法院以儿童的法律稳定为由维持了判决。 Virginia law barred challenges to the adoption after six months, and the court upheld the decision, citing legal stability for the child. 三位法官持异议,认为裁决不公正。 Three justices dissented, calling the ruling unjust. 这一引起全国注意的案件现已结案。 The case, which drew national attention, is now concluded.
