Any modification which may be made in the marriage contract shall have no legal effect with regard to third persons if it does not include the following conditions:
(1) That in the proper protocol, by a marginal note, reference be made to the notarial act or instrument containing the modification of the previous contract; and
(2) That in case the original contract may be entered in the registry of property, the instrument by which it has been modified, be also entered.
The notary shall state these modifications in the authenticated copies of the stipulations or original contract he may issue, under the penalty of indemnifying the parties for losses and damages should he not do so.
