Note 2 — XII. Domestic Life

H. W. (Henry William) Auden translation

Cicero uses divortium not repudium. divortium (dis, vertere) is a separation by mutual consent, divortium est, quod in diversas partes eunt, qui discedunt (Paul. Dig. L. 16. 1. 161). In repudium one party takes the initiative, usually the husband. The formula commonly used was tua condicione non utar.
