Marcianus, Institutes, Book XVI. In the Thirty-fifth Section of the Lex Julia, persons who wrongfully prevent their children, who are subject to their authority, to marry, or who refuse to endow them, are compelled by the Proconsuls or Governors of provinces, under a Constitution of the Divine Severus and Antoninus, to marry or endow their said children. They are also held to prevent their marriage where they do not seek to promote it.
