7Paragraphs (3) and (5) of Article 2 do not, therefore, cover only cases where the official may receive dependent child allowances. The object of Article 2(4) is precisely to ensure that a person may be treated as a dependent child in other cases where the official has in fact to maintain such a person, who is neither his minor child, adult child receiving educational or vocational training or sick or invalid child but who, like them, causes him to incur heavy expenditure.
