Article 761Joint and Several Liability for Debts Incurred for Household Necessities

第七百六十一条(日常の家事に関する債務の連帯責任)

When one party to a marriage performs a juridical act with a third party in respect of a household necessity, the other party to the marriage is jointly and severally liable for the debt arising from that act; provided, however, that this does not apply if advance notice is given to the third party indicating that the other party to the marriage will not bear such liability.

夫婦の一方が日常の家事に関して第三者と法律行為をしたときは、他の一方は、これによって生じた債務について、連帯してその責任を負う。ただし、第三者に対し責任を負わない旨を予告した場合は、この限りでない。
