Article 874. An absolute condition not to

contract a first or subsequent marriage shall be

considered as not written unless such condition

has been imposed on the widow or widower by

the deceased spouse, or by the latter's

ascendants or descendants.

Nevertheless, the right of usufruct, or an

allowance or some personal prestation may be

devised or bequeathed to any person for the

time during which he or she should remain

unmarried or in widowhood. (793a)
