Article 135

Family Law
Titre VIII: De la Puissance paternelle (On Paternal Authority)

La puissance paternelle réside dans la seule personne du père durant le cours du mariage.

Life lesson: During marriage, the father alone wields parental authority. It is the custom of the age — a power that later centuries would learn to share.
Notes: Exclusive paternal authority during marriage. The mother has no independent parental authority while the father lives and is married. Only upon the father's death or incapacity does the mother's authority emerge (see subsequent articles).
