Taxes on Dotal Land as Non-Recoverable Charges

Passage 3672 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

It explains that a husband cannot recover taxes or tributes paid for dotal land from his wife, as such expenses represent a charge upon the fruits which he enjoys.

[IDEM libro septimo breuium. ] §25.1.13.prNeque stipendium neque tributum ob dotalem fundum praestita exigere uir a muliere potest: onus enim fructuum haec impendia sunt.
[THE SAME, Epitomes, book 7] A husband cannot demand from his wife either the tax or the tribute paid on account of dotal land: for these expenses are a charge upon the fruits.

Notes

  1. §25.1.13.prpraestita — A neuter plural accusative participle modifying the two preceding neuter singular nouns stipendium and tributum collectively.
  2. §25.1.13.pronus — While the subject haec impendia is plural, the predicate noun onus is singular, indicating that these individual expenses collectively constitute a single burden.
  3. §25.1.13.prfructuum — A genitive of reference or connection, indicating a burden that is charged upon or attached to the fruits (produce) of the land.
