The Same, Opinions, Book VIII. A woman gave all her property as dowry. I ask whether her husband, as her heir, is obliged to be responsible for the debts of her estate? Paulus answers that where anyone retains all the property of a woman on account of a dotal obligation, he cannot be sued by her creditors, but that the promise of the property only applies to what remains after the debts have been deducted. 1Paulus holds with reference to dotal property, that even the father of the husband is responsible for fraud and negligence. 2Paulus also holds that, where a woman gives a dowry out of her own property, and causes her mother to make stipulations, she can afterwards alter the dotal instrument.
