Des Qualités et Conditions requises pour contracter Mariage

Marriage 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)

Le mariage est défendu entre le frère et la sœur, l'oncle et la nièce, la tante et le neveu.

Life lesson: Some bonds are sacred precisely because they must never become marital. The law draws a line where nature draws one first.
Notes: Prohibited degrees of marriage: siblings, uncle/niece, aunt/nephew. Notably narrower than many contemporary European codes — no prohibition on first cousins. Reflects a practical approach in a small population.
