[Footnote 87: On the _Lex romana Burgundionum_, the _Lex romana Visigothorum_, and the _Lex romana curiensis_, see FREISEN, _op. cit._, 776-78. _Cf._ also GEFFCKEN, _op. cit._, 42, 43. The folk-laws are clearly reviewed by MEYRICK in _Dict. Christ. Ant._, II, 1111.] [Footnote 88: BOEHMER, _Ehegesetze im Zeitalter Karls des Grossen_, 89 ff., summarizes the provisions of the folk-laws and capitularies regarding divorce, enumerating twelve different causes of separation, some of them being properly grounds of nullity.] [Footnote 89: See GEFFCKEN'S interesting discussion of tit. 34, c. 4, _Lex Burgundionum_, in _Ehescheidung_, 35-38. He shows, following LOENING, _Geschichte des deut. Kirchenrechts_, II, 619, note, that the clause in question is of later origin than the rest of tit. 34, probably under Christian influence. _Cf._ GLASSON, _Le mariage civil et le divorce_, 187, 188. For the text see SALIS'S edition of the Burgundian laws in _Mon. Germ. hist.: Legum_, sec. i, tom. ii, p. 68; and compare sec. xxiv, "De mulieribus Burgundiis ad secundas aut tertias nuptias transeuntibus," _ibid._, pp. 61-63; and sec. lxviii, "De adulteriis," _ibid._, p. 95.] [Footnote 90: The _Lex Bajuwariorum_, near the end of the eighth century, likewise admits divorce only for the one cause: GEFFCKEN, _op. cit._, 46.] [Footnote 91: _Lex Visig._, lib. iii, tit. iv, c. 3; tit. v, c. 5; tit. vi, c. 2. For sodomy or for forcing her to adultery, the wife may put away the husband and marry again. _Cf._ GEFFCKEN, _op. cit._, 38-40; GLASSON, _op. cit._, 187. There is a similar provision in the Longobard code: GEFFCKEN, _op. cit._, 41. As a general rule, the woman is not allowed one-sided divorce; indeed, for attempting such a separation, the _Lex Burgund._, tit. xxxiv, c. 1, prescribes the death penalty: _cf._ FREISEN, _op. cit._, 780, who holds that the woman cannot by German law have the right of one-sided divorce, because she cannot dissolve the _mund_ which belongs solely to the man; and he contends against Sohm, Schroeder, and Loening that when the woman, as in exceptional cases cited, has the right of separating, it is not she who dissolves the marriage, but the law indirectly by depriving the man of the _mund_.] [Footnote 92: So by the Burgundian, West Gothic, and Longobard laws: GEFFCKEN, _op. cit._, 35, 39, 41.]
