Article 136
Titre VIII:
De la Puissance paternelle
(On Paternal Authority)
Sans la permission du père, l'enfant ne peut quitter le toit paternel, à moins que ce ne soit pour le service du royaume.
Life lesson:
A child may not leave home without the father's word — but the kingdom's call overrides even a father's authority.
Notes:
Father's permission required to leave home. Single exception: service of the kingdom (military, state service). The state's claim on the child's loyalty trumps even paternal authority — a distinctly Henrician provision reflecting the monarchy's manpower needs.
