Book IV: On the Sacraments · Distinction 36
COMMENTARIUS IN DISTINCTIONEM XXXVI.
De impedimentis conditionis et aetatis.
Nunc de conditione videamus, an valeat coniugium dividere etc.
DIVISIO TEXTUS.
Supra egit Magister de impedimentis, in quibus impeditur matrimonium, quia ille qui contrahit, non potest se ligare propter defectum virtutis. Hic agit de illo impedimento, quod impedit, quia ille qui contrahit, non potest se ligare propter conditionem servitutis. Et dividitur haec pars in duas. In prima determinat de conditione, quia est defectus libertatis. In secunda vero, quia, quanto tempore heres parvulus est, nihil differt a servo, cum sit dominus omnium1, agit de puerili aetate, ibi: Hoc etiam sciendum est, quod pueri ante annos quatuordecim, ubi determinat, quod pueri non possunt contrahere matrimonium ante annum decimum quartum.
Prima pars habet tres. In prima quaerit Magister, utrum error conditionis impediat matrimonium, ubi est error et dissimilitudo. Secundo vero, ubi est error, et tamen similitudo. Tertio vero, utrum, viro facto servo, fiat serva et ipsa uxor. Primum facit hic: Nunc de conditione etc. Secundum facit secundo capitulo, ibi: Quaeritur etiam, si servus unius ancillam alterius etc. Tertium tertio capitulo, ibi: Illud etiam notandum est, quod si. — Et ita in hac distinctione breviter duo determinat: primo, de errore conditionis; secundo vero, de defectu aetatis.
TRACTATIO QUAESTIONUM.
Ad intelligentiam praesentis distinctionis secundum duo, quae determinat Magister, duo principaliter quaeruntur.
Primo quantum ad primam partem distinctionis quaeritur de conditione servitutis.
Secundo quantum ad secundam quaeritur de defectu aetatis.
Circa primum quaeruntur tria.
Primo quaeritur, utrum servitus cum contradictione domini impediat matrimonium.
Secundo, utrum cum errore contrahentis.
Tertio quaeritur de fructu ventris, cuius conditionem debeat sequi, scilicet patris vel matris.
ARTICULUS I.
De conditione servitutis.

COMMENTARY ON DISTINCTION XXXVI.
On the impediments of condition and of age.
Now let us consider condition, whether it can avail to dissolve wedlock, etc.
DIVISION OF THE TEXT.
Above, the Master treated of the impediments by which marriage is impeded, because he who contracts cannot bind himself on account of a defect of [virile] power. Here he treats of that impediment which impedes because he who contracts cannot bind himself on account of the condition of servitude. And this part is divided into two. In the first he determines concerning condition, because it is a defect of liberty. In the second, however, because, for as long a time as the heir is a little child, he differs nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all1, he treats of childhood age, there: This too must be known, that boys before fourteen years, where he determines that boys cannot contract marriage before the fourteenth year.
The first part has three [members]. In the first the Master asks whether error of condition impedes marriage, where there is error and dissimilitude. Secondly, however, where there is error, and yet similitude. Thirdly, whether, the husband having been made a servant, the wife herself also becomes a servant. The first he does here: Now concerning condition, etc. The second he does in the second chapter, there: It is also asked, if the servant of one [take] the handmaid of another, etc. The third in the third chapter, there: This also is to be noted, that if. — And thus in this distinction he briefly determines two things: first, concerning error of condition; secondly, concerning defect of age.
THE TREATMENT OF THE QUESTIONS.
For the understanding of the present distinction, according to the two things which the Master determines, two things are principally asked.
First, as to the first part of the distinction, inquiry is made concerning the condition of servitude.
Secondly, as to the second, inquiry is made concerning the defect of age.
Concerning the first, three things are asked.
First it is asked, whether servitude with the contradiction of the master impedes marriage.
Secondly, whether [it does so] with the error of the one contracting.
Thirdly, inquiry is made concerning the fruit of the womb, whose condition it ought to follow, namely the father's or the mother's.
