A minor may, by marriage contract, give to the other spouse, either by simple gift or by reciprocal gift, only with the consent and assistance of those whose consent is required for the validity of his marriage; and, with such consent, he may give all that the law permits the spouse of full age to give to the other spouse.
A gift of future property made between spouses during the marriage is always revocable. A gift of present property that takes effect during the marriage made between spouses is revocable only under the conditions set out in articles 953 to 958. Gifts made between spouses of present or future property are not revoked by the occurrence of children.
If a spouse has made to his or her spouse, within the limits of article 1094-1, a gift in property, each of the children who are not descended from both spouses shall have, as far as he or she is concerned, unless the disposing spouse wishes otherwise and unequivocally, the option of substituting for the execution of this gift the relinquishment of the usufruct of the share of the estate…

Legal facts are acts or events to which the law attaches legal effects. Obligations arising from a legal fact are governed, as the case may be, by the subtitle relating to extra-contractual liability or the subtitle relating to other sources of obligations.
A contract is an agreement between two or more persons to create, modify, transfer or extinguish obligations.
Everyone is free to contract or not to contract, to choose their co-contractor and to determine the content and form of the contract within the limits set by law. Freedom of contract does not permit derogation from rules of interest to public policy.
