Roman citizens contract lawful marriages, if they have married Roman citizens, or even Latins or aliens, with whom they have Title x. Of marriage. Roman citizens contract lawful marriages between themselves when they unite in conformity with the law, the males having attained the the right of intermarriage; and since this right so operates as to make the children of the same condition as their father, it follows that they become not only Roman citizens, but also that they are in the power of their father. 57.

It is however to be observed that it is not lawful to marry any woman we please, for from certain marriages we are bound to abstain. 59. Marriage cannot be contracted between persons standing to each other in the relation of ascendant and descendant, for no right of intermarriage exists between them; as for example, between father and daughter, mother and son, grandfather and granddaughter; and if such persons do unite they are considered to have contracted a wicked and incestuous marriage, and this is carried so far that ascendants and descendants, who are only so by adoption, cannot intermarry; and even after the adoption has beendissolved, the rule still holds; therefore I cannot marry a woman who has been in the position of daughter or granddaughter by adoption to me, although I have emancipated her. 60.
