Parental Consent for Remarriage Between Same Parties

Passage 3324 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

This text establishes that when the same persons renew their marriage, it is not considered lawful unless it is done with the consent of their parents.

[IULIANUS libro sexto decimo digestorum. ] §23.2.18.prNuptiae inter easdem personas nisi uolentibus parentibus renouatae iustae non habentur.
[JULIANUS in the sixteenth book of the Digests.] Marriage between the same persons, unless renewed with the consent of their parents, is not held to be lawful.

Notes

  1. §23.2.18.prnisi uolentibus parentibus renouatae — The perfect passive participle `renouatae` matches and modifies the subject `nuptiae`. Embedded within this is the ablative absolute construction `uolentibus parentibus` ('the parents consenting'), which functions as a condition. The conjunction `nisi` governs the entire phrase, meaning 'unless renewed with the consent of their parents.'
