ABSTRACT
The set of regulations concerns the division of property among the children of the family. The father is given power over the children and of division of property among them, and the mother power over her own property. As long as the parents are living, there is no obligation to make division of the property; except that, if one of the sons is condemned to pay a fine, his prescribed portion may be given to him. But when the father dies, the houses in the town and whatever there is in those houses, provided they are not occupied by a serf belonging to the country estate, has been variously interpreted. A daughter may have what was given or promised to her by her father before the present law came into force, but is not entitled to any more of the paternal inheritance.
