However, the payment of personal debts

contracted by either spouse before the

marriage, that of fines and indemnities imposed

upon them, as well as the support of illegitimate

children of either spouse, may be enforced

against the partnership assets after the

responsibilities enumerated in the preceding

Article have been covered, if the spouse who is

bound should have no exclusive property or if

it should be insufficient; but at the time of the

liquidation of the partnership, such spouse shall

be charged for what has been paid for the

purpose above-mentioned. (163a)
