Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §23.3.22.pr

Remarriage after Repudiation and Non-revival of Dowry Stipulation

Passage 3396 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

It states that even if the woman subsequently marries the same man, the stipulation concerning the dowry, once failed, does not become valid.

[PAULUS libro septimo ad Sabinum. ] §23.3.22.pret licet postea eidem nupserit, non conualescit stipulatio.
[PAULUS in the seventh book on Sabinus.]\n\nand even if she should subsequently marry the same man, the stipulation does not become valid.

Notes

  1. §23.3.22.prlicet postea eidem nupserit — The conjunction licet introduces a concessive clause with the subjunctive (here, the perfect subjunctive nupserit), meaning 'even if' or 'although'. The implied subject of nupserit is the woman (third-person singular) from the context of the dowry. Since nubere (to marry) governs the dative, eidem (to the same man) is the dative masculine singular of idem.
