A quick definition of civil code:

A civil code is a set of laws that explain how people should behave towards each other in certain situations. These laws cover things like buying and selling property, getting married, and making promises to each other. Each state might have its own civil code, which is made up of different sections that explain different things. For example, one section might explain how people can own property, while another section might explain what happens if someone breaks a promise. These laws are important because they help people know what they can and can't do, and they help make sure that everyone is treated fairly.

A more thorough explanation:

A civil code is a set of laws that govern private legal matters such as contracts, property, family, and obligations. It is a codification of private law that outlines the general rights and obligations of individuals within a jurisdiction.

For example, the California Civil Code is divided into four divisions:

  • Persons
  • Property
  • Obligations
  • General Provisions

Division 1 contains laws that govern personal rights, such as marriage and divorce. Division 2 contains laws that govern property rights, such as ownership and transfer of property. Division 3 codifies rules in California like the regulations relating to agency, mortgages, and extensions of credit. Division 4 defines remedies available in lawsuits.

The Louisiana Civil Code is another example of a civil code. It covers a wide range of legal topics, including property, contracts, and family law.

These examples illustrate how a civil code organizes and codifies private law in a jurisdiction. It provides a framework for individuals and businesses to understand their legal rights and obligations in various areas of law.

@MrThickRopes: Careful Mr. ThickRopes. I once wrote a love letter to a girl and it was used against me in court. Best not to tell women how you really feel about them. Might get accused of Rape. Oh my God I am so Horny. Haven't fucked in 6 years now. Man oh man!
^^^^^^^^^ Imagine that shit gets presented in court and your boomer judge who doesn't understand A.I. does not surpress it. Good god!
I thought about this more. You know, if you were still in high school. The time it is easiest to start a relationship, I would say yes. Tell her how you feel. Any woman post undergrad though, nah don't risk it. Wait to see how she turns out as a person at 25 at the very minimum. You probably dodged a bullet.
love amirite
