The option connected with emancipation.
In the historical legal institution of slavery, particular circumstances surrounding the emancipation of a married enslaved woman could give rise to an option concerning the persistence of her marriage. The option arose after the original contract had operated.
It is therefore classified as affecting the continuation of the ruling, not as proof that the original contract was never constituted. This explains historical doctrine and is not a suggestion or permission to engage in modern trafficking or sales of persons.
