The fact that a professional, on the pretext of presenting candidates for marriage or a stable union, brings together or causes to communicate persons, one of whom is remunerated by him, or is placed, directly or indirectly, under his authority, or has not made an application with a view to marriage or a stable union, shall be punishable by the penalties laid down in articles 313-1 to 313-3 of the Penal Code.
The fact that a professional promises to organise meetings with a view to a marriage or stable union with a fictitious person is punishable by the same penalties.
