The Betazoid Nobility Charter is a legal document that governs the rules of Nobility. | |||
Section 44, part 1 of the Betazoid Nobility Charter states that "any Betazoid siblings, either by blood, by marriage, or by adoption, of a Betazoid House noble, who is not a subject or a citizen or entitled to the rights or privileges of a subject or citizen of a foreign power,” is eligible to act as an Advocate (i.e. legal representative) for a head of House in the case where the matriarch is absent or unwell. This section was written long before Betazed’s membership of the Federation. Parts 4 and 5 of the section state that in the case of non-noble siblings, such as in the case of a stripped title, preference must be given to a female sibling<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-veritas/c/UBewnegmGWw/m/iAq_WjHHBgAJ ''"Section 44 eligibility"''], Ral/Ukinix, SD239602.29 </ref>. | |||
