Quaestionum libri
Ex libro XIX
Dig. 24,3,47Scaevola libro nono decimo quaestionum. Cum mulier viri lenocinio adulterata fuerit, nihil ex dote retinetur: cur enim improbet maritus mores, quos ipse aut ante corrupit aut postea probavit? si tamen ex mente legis sumet quis, ut nec accusare possit, qui lenocinium uxori praebuerit, audiendus est.
Scævola, Questions, Book XVII. Where a woman commits adultery through the agency of her husband, he can retain none of her dowry; for why should a husband disapprove of acts which he himself either previously corruptly caused, or subsequently assented to? If, however, anyone should maintain that, according to the spirit of the law, a husband who afforded an opportunity to his wife to prostitute herself cannot accuse her, his opinion must be held to be correct.
