Interdiction of Prodigal Women and Privileges over Curator's Goods

Passage 4088 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Paulus states that interdiction from property can be applied to extravagant women, and discusses how the privilege over a curator's property is preserved for mad persons, prodigals, and all others by decree.

[PAULUS libro tertio sententiarum. ] §27.10.15.prEt mulieri, quae luxuriose uiuit, bonis interdici potest.
[PAULUS, in the third book of Sententiae.] Interdiction from property can also be pronounced against a woman who lives extravagantly.
§27.10.15.1In bonis curatoris priuilegium furiosi furiosaeue seruatur: prodigus et omnes omnino, etiamsi in edicto non fit eorum mentio, in bonis curatoris decreto priuilegium consequuntur.
In the property of a curator, the privilege of a madman or madwoman is preserved; a prodigal, and absolutely all others, even if no mention of them is made in the Edict, obtain the privilege in the property of the curator by decree.

Notes

  1. 27.10.15.prbonis interdici — The verb interdicere takes a dative of the person and an ablative of the thing/property (interdicere alicui aliqua re). Here, it is used in the passive impersonal construction interdici potest, with mulieri functioning as the dative and bonis as the ablative of separation.
  2. 27.10.15.1decreto — Ablative of means or cause, meaning 'by decree' or 'by judicial order'. It stands in contrast to the Edict (edicto), indicating that even in the absence of an explicit provision in the general Edict, the privilege can still be acquired through an individual judicial decree.
