Article 144

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

La voie de la réquisition, en la forme exigée par l'article 139, est nécessaire lorsqu'il s'agira de la détention d'un enfant, même au-dessous de quinze ans, du moment qu'il aura des biens personnels, ou qu'il exercera un état ou métier.

Life lesson: A child with property or a trade is no longer merely a child — he is an economic actor, and the law extends its protection accordingly.
Notes: Property or trade triggers enhanced protection: even children under 15 get the Art. 139 procedure (seneschal + prosecutor) if they have personal assets or exercise a profession. Economic independence earns legal protection against arbitrary paternal detention.
