Now, then, consider the laws, and see
from whom they ordain that betrothals should be made, that you may come to know
from them also, that this fellow Stephanus has proved himself to be a false
witness to a forged will.“LawIf a woman be betrothed for lawful marriage by her father
or by a brother begotten of the same father or by her grandfather on her
father's side, her children shall be legitimate. In case there be none of
these relatives, if the woman be an heiress, her guardian shall take her to
wife, and if she be not, that man shall be her guardian to whom she may
entrust herself.”
