XXXIV.
But if a woman has married a husband simply, without any mention of a dowry made by words express or equivalent, she is not thereby considered to have given all her goods to him as a dowry.
XXXV.
Furthermore, whether a father, a grandfather, or any other person has given it on behalf of the woman, she herself shall be judged to have given it: for what we carry out through others, we are seen to have done ourselves.
XXXVI.
Things, however, enter into the dowry, both corporeal and incorporeal.
XXXVII.
Likewise, movable and landed, appraised and unappraised.
XXXVIII.
In unappraised things, the husband provides for fraud and fault only: in appraised things, and those items which consist of weight, number, or measure, he also provides for accidents.
XXXIX.
The modes of constituting dowries, however, are various: for a dowry can be constituted not only by stipulation, but also by a bare promise.
