Article 67

Des Qualités et Conditions requises pour contracter Mariage

Family Law
Titre V: Du Mariage (On Marriage)
Chapitre I: Des Qualités et Conditions requises pour contracter Mariage (On the Qualities and Conditions Required to Contract Marriage)

Parvenus aux époques déterminées par l'article précédent, les enfans, avant de contracter mariage, sont tenus de solliciter, par un acte respectueux et formel, l'agrément de leur père et mère.

Life lesson: Even when the law no longer requires permission, it still demands respect. The act of asking honors the bond between parent and child.
Notes: The 'acte respectueux' — a formal request for parental approval required even after reaching majority. Not a veto but a mandatory gesture of filial respect. A distinctive feature of French-derived civil law preserved in Henry's code.
