ELI5— what this means for you

Donations propter nuptias are automatically revoked if: the marriage does not take place, the marriage is void, there is legal separation where the donee is at fault, the annulment is due to the donee's bad faith, or the donee commits an act of ingratitude.

Donations by reason of marriage of property subject to encumbrances shall be valid. In case of foreclosure of the encumbrance and the property is sold for less than the total amount of the obligation secured, the donee shall not be liable for the deficiency. If the property is sold for more than the total amount of said obligation, the donee shall be entitled to the excess. (131a)
