1. The father of the groom promises to the bride 150 francs. As to the property of the father and mother of the groom, consisting of a house and land, it will come into their use and possession after the decease of the father.

2. Should the father of the groom fall into a lingering illness, and the groom and bride show themselves querulous and ill-tempered towards him, the father shall have the right to take to himself another friend, and to bequeath to that person a share of his property, at his discretion.

3. The father and mother of the bride promise to the groom 150 francs. As to the remaining property of the bride's parents, they shall receive their share of it, after division.

4. The properties thus settled shall, after the decease of the parents, form one possession.

5. Should there be issue of the marriage, then at the death of either husband or wife, the inheritance in real estate and movables shall go to the children of the first marriage. It shall be divided into two equal portions, one half to be given to the children of the first marriage, the other half to the surviving husband or wife.

6. Should there be no children, and the groom die before the bride, without heirs of his body, the bride shall have after his decease the maternal property, in real estate and movables; also the half of the house; in all things the half shall be delivered to her.

7. Should the bride die before the groom, and without heirs, if the father and mother of the bride are still living, the groom shall, at their decease, inherit her entire interest in their property, both real estate and movables, to possess and enjoy.

All of which is here subscribed to by the contracting parties.
