A[1] Whether the condition of slavery is an impediment to matrimony?

A[2] Whether a slave can marry without his master's consent?

A[3] Whether a man who is already married can make himself a slave without his wife's consent?

A[4] Whether the children should follow the condition of their father or of their mother?
