Ulpian states the rule that users cannot let or grant habitation separately or sell the use, and rules that if a use is bequeathed on condition of divorce, the condition is remitted and the woman may enjoy it while cohabiting with her husband.
[ULPIANUS libro septimo decimo ad Sabinum.]
[ULPIAN, in the seventeenth book on Sabinus.]
Sed neque locabunt seorsum neque concedent habitationem sine se nec uendent usum.
But they shall neither let [it] separately, nor grant habitation without themselves, nor sell the use.
Sed si usus aedium mulieri legatus sit ea condicione 'si a uiro diuortisset1', remittendam ei condicionem et cum uiro habitaturam,2 quod et Pomponius libro quinto probat.
But if the use of a house has been bequeathed to a woman under the condition ‘if she should have divorced her husband’, [it is held that] the condition is to be remitted to her and she will dwell with her husband, which Pomponius also approves in his fifth book.
- 7.8.8.1si a uiro diuortisset
Subjunctive pluperfect representing a future perfect condition ('if she should have divorced') from the perspective of the bequest, set in indirect speech depending on the historical/past context of the conditional legacy.
- 7.8.8.1remittendam ei condicionem et cum uiro habitaturam
Accusative with Infinitive (AcI) construction, in which the governing verb of saying or deciding (such as 'it is held' or 'it is ruled') is omitted in the legal opinion. The gerundive 'remittendam' (with 'esse' omitted) expresses necessity, and the future participle 'habitaturam' (with 'esse' omitted, agreeing with the omitted subject 'mulierem') expresses the consequence that she will continue to live with her husband.
