Explains that a person who married by his father's order is not marked with infamy, even if he continues to retain her as his wife after being released from paternal power.
[PAULUS libro quinto ad edictum.]
[PAULUS, in his Fifth Book on the Edict.]
Qui iussu patris duxit, quamuis liberatus potestate patria eam retinuit,1 non notatur.
He who married by the order of his father is not marked with infamy, even if, after being freed from paternal power, he retained her as his wife.
- 3.2.12.prquamuis liberatus potestate patria eam retinuit
The conjunction 'quamuis' is used here with the indicative perfect 'retinuit' to form a concessive clause ("even if he retained"), which is common in legal Latin instead of the classical subjunctive. The participle 'liberatus' agrees with the subject 'qui', indicating a prior event ("after being freed").
