A minor who can marry in accordance with law may also execute his marriage contract, but it shall be valid only when in its execution the persons designated by law to give consent to the minor to contract marriage take part therein.
In case the marriage contract should be void, because the concurrence and signature of the said persons are lacking and the marriage, however, is valid according to law, it shall be understood that the minor has contracted it under the system of conjugal partnership.
