[IDEM libro quarto ad Sabinum. ] §23.2.5.prMulierem absenti per litteras eius uel per nuntium posse nubere placet, si in domum eius deduceretur: eam uero quae abesset ex litteris uel nuntio suo duci a marito non posse: deductione enim opus esse in mariti, non in uxoris domum, quasi in domicilium matrimonii.
[THE SAME in the fourth book on Sabinus.] It is accepted that a woman can marry an absent man by means of his letter or messenger, provided that she is led into his house; but that a woman who is absent cannot be married by her husband through her own letter or messenger. For there is need of leading into the husband's house, not into the wife's, as if into the domicile of the marriage.
