[Footnote 117: "Si mulier discesserit a viro suo despiciens eum,
nolens revertere et reconciliari vero, post v. annos cum consensu
Episcopi aliam accipere licebit uxorem."--_Poenit. Theod._, II,
xii, 19: HADDAN AND STUBBS, _op. cit._, III, 200. The _Poenit.
Merseburgense_, c. 104: WASSERSCHLEBEN, _op. cit._, 402, seems to
allow the man in such case to marry after one year: "Si mulier
a viro discesserit et iterum reversa fuerit, suscipiat eam sine
dote et ipsa ann. I poeniteat in p. e. a., similiter et ille,
si aliam duxerit."--HINSCHIUS, _Das Ehescheidungsrecht_, 80;
but GEFFCKEN thinks the second wife must be sent away when the
first wife returns, the man doing penance: _Ehescheidung_, 63,
64. _Cf._ similar provisions in _Poenit. Cummeani_, c. 3, § 31,
_Poenit. XXXV Cap._, c. 9, § 2: WASSERSCHLEBEN, _op. cit._, 474,
511; and _Poenit. Theod._, I, xiv, 13: HADDAN AND STUBBS, _op.
cit._, III, 188.]
[Footnote 118: _Poenit. Theod._, II, xii, 8: HADDAN AND STUBBS,
_op. cit._, III, 199.]
[Footnote 119: In that case, "licet aliam accipere; melius est
sic facere quam fornicationes": _Poenit. Theod._, II, xii, 23:
HADDAN AND STUBBS, _op. cit._, III, 200, 201; _cf._ THORPE, _op.
cit._, II, 19.]
[Footnote 120: _Poenit. Theod._, II, xii, 17, 18: HADDAN AND
STUBBS, _op. cit._, III, 200.]
[Footnote 121: _Poenit. Theod._, II, xii, 32, xiii, 5: HADDAN AND
STUBBS, _op. cit._, III, 201, 202; _cf._ ESMEIN, _Le mariage en
droit canonique_, II, 64.]
[Footnote 122: _Poenit. Theod._, II, xiii, 4: HADDAN AND STUBBS,
_op. cit._, III, 202.
These provisions (notes 4 and 5) are similar to those of the
synods of Verberie and Compiègne relating to _error conditionis_
and loss of freedom. See p. 42, above; and ESMEIN, _op. cit._, I,
325; II, 68.]
[Footnote 123: "Legitimum conjugium non licet frangi sine
consensu amborum."--_Poenit. Theod._, II, xii, 7: HADDAN AND
STUBBS, _op. cit._, III, 199. _Cf. Poenit. Mers._, c. 123,
_Poenit. XXXV Cap._, c. 9, § 1: WASSERSCHLEBEN, _Bussordnungen_,
403, 511. Sometimes in such case remarriage is forbidden:
_Judicium Clementis_, § 15: WASSERSCHLEBEN, _op. cit._, 435.
_Cf._ ESMEIN _op. cit._, II, 61; GEFFCKEN, _op. cit._, 64;
GLASSON, _op. cit._, I, 130, who favors the view of the text;
but FREISEN, _op. cit._, 779, 780, thinks that § 7 of _Poenit.
Theod._ is supplemented by § 12, which forbids separation on
account of infirmity or even to enter religion _cum consensu
ambrorum_. This view may be favored by _Excerptiones Ecgberti_,
c. 120, 121: THORPE, _op. cit._, II, 114, 115.]
