alright well i'm doing a report and need someone to translate these:
(Roman Republic)
1.If a father thrice surrender a son for sale, the son shall be free from the father.
also im placing this in R&S because i need a quick answer and the history section is probably dead.
2.Females shall remain in guardianship even when they have attained their majority.
(this one is from India)
1.What was given before the nuptial fire, what was given on the bridal procession, what was given in token of love, and what was received from her brother, mother, or father, that is called the six-fold property of a woman.
I don't understand the "six fold property" part...thanks

I get the concept of 'son shall be free from the father' but the rest....."?"
Historically, a father could pay off a debt by giving his son for a period of time, to work off the debt on his behalf.
I assume from what you wrote, that the Roman law gave the son an out, if he had a father who was constantly running up debts and using the son to pay them off. At some point, the son would be old enough to claim his own life. Makes sense, that if such a law existed that allowed a father to use his own son, in this way, that the law could also put a limit to it.

OK let me think...if a father tries to sell his son 3 times and there's no buyer the child is free from the father. (1)
2.Females shall remain in household even when they have reached legal age. Actually I think its till they marry.
3. six fold property is the dowry. Its gifts from the brides family before the marriage..on the wedding day..on the day of the Marriage was arranged. there are six different times the Brides family gives gifts..In India most marriages are arranged and the nicer the gifts or the richer the family the better prospects for the Girl.

OK, I'll give it a try.
The question about the father surrender a son for sale raises my hackles, but I presume they are saying that the merchandise was returned twice as unsatisfactory, so the third time, they don't have to return the merchandise.
Females remaining in guardianship was to protect her from abuse because presumably nobody but her parents really cared what happened to her. But I figure that for all practical purposes, that guardianship was turned over to her husband once she married. It was also an assumption that she needed a guardian; i.e., that she was not competent to care for herself.
The one about the six-fold property is easy; you named six elements yourself.
1. wedding gifts before the fire
2. also wedding gifts, at the procession
3. tokens of love
4. gifts from brother (but not sister?)
5. gifts from mother
6. gifts from father
It sounds like what they are saying is that these things are her property, and do not become her husband's property at marriage. Presumably everything else which is her property does become her husband's.

If a father thrice surrender a son for sale, the son shall be free from the father.
If a father gives his son up to be sold three times the son become a free soul and is no longer subject to him father..
2. Women no matter their age are always subject to their age stay subject to their guardian (father)
Indian
sixfold property is a way of saying held without means of removal.. No one can take it away... IHS Jim

i'm not a expert in this undertaking, I have not got any skills in Roman regulation so do not take my word for it yet my advice could be treason. Baring in strategies you're speaking on the subject of the roman republic and the protection thereof which has been handed over and not maintained as envisioned, permitting invasion of the republic's borders the two against or in collusion with the occasion in contact, being answerable to this as a dereliction of accountability if not in collusion or treason if in collusion against the republic looks existence desire to me the two punishable by using demise i could think of.
