PROPERTY RELATION





        Article 74. The property relationship between



        husband  and  wife  shall  be  governed  in  the


        following order:






        (1) By marriage settlements executed before the


        marriage;


        (2) By the provisions of this Code; and


        (3) By the local custom. (118)






        Article  75.  The  future  spouses  may,  in  the



        marriage settlements, agree upon the regime of


        absolute  community,  conjugal  partnership  of


        gains, complete separation of property, or any


        other  regime.  In  the  absence  of  a  marriage



        settlement, or when the regime agreed upon is


        void,  the  system  of  absolute  community  of



        property  as  established  in  this  Code  shall


        govern. (119a)
