Can a child div have a higher opacity than parent with css?

I have a background on a page body that is an image which I want to show through the first level of divs but not the second

<body>
      <div style='opacity:0.9;'><p>This is a wrapper that shows some of the background</p>
          <div style='background-color:#fff;'><p>This is a child div that I want to be all white</p>
          </div>
      </div>
</body>

Obviously the second level div picks up the opacity of .9 as well is there a way to override this?

Hi you can do as like this

You can define parent opicity

and child as like you

ex.

css

.parent{
    padding:20px;
    background:rgba(112,81,246,0.3);
}
.child{
    padding:20px;
    background:rgba(112,81,246,0.6);
}

HTML

<div class="parent">
<div class="child">Hello i m child</div>
</div>
