[GAIUS libro tertio ad legem duodecim tabularum. ] §48.5.44.prSi ex lege repudium missum non sit et idcirco mulier adhuc nupta esse uideatur, tamen si quis eam uxorem duxerit, adulter non erit.
[GAIUS, Book III on the Law of the Twelve Tables.] If notice of divorce has not been sent in accordance with the law, and for that reason the woman still appears to be married, nevertheless, if anyone marries her, he will not be an adulterer.
idque Saluius Iulianus respondit, quia adulterium, inquit, sine dolo malo non committitur: quamquam dicendum, ne is, qui sciret eam ex lege repudiatam non esse, dolo malo committat.
And Salvius Julianus gave this response, "Because," he says, "adultery is not committed without malicious intent." Although it must be said that he who knew she was not divorced in accordance with the law commits it with malicious intent.
