Extinction of Action for Removed Property upon Remarriage

Passage 3705 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Rules that an action for things removed instituted against a wife after a divorce is extinguished if the marriage is subsequently restored.

[PAPINIANUS libro undecimo quaestionum. ] §25.2.30.prCum soluto matrimonio rerum amotarum iudicium contra mulierem instituitur, redintegrato rursus matrimonio soluitur iudicium.
[PAPINIANUS, Questions, book 11.] When, upon the dissolution of a marriage, an action for things removed is instituted against the woman, if the marriage is restored again, the action is dissolved.

Notes

  1. §25.2.30.prsoluto matrimonio — An ablative absolute consisting of the noun matrimonio and the participle soluto, meaning 'upon the dissolution of the marriage'. The use of this phrase plays on the same root verb solvere as the main verb soluitur, contrasting the dissolution of marriage with the dissolution of the lawsuit.
  2. §25.2.30.prredintegrato rursus matrimonio — An ablative absolute consisting of the noun matrimonio and the participle redintegrato, functioning conditionally ('if the marriage is restored'). Accompanied by the adverb rursus ('again'), it means 'if the marriage relation is once more restored'.
