The payment of debts contracted by the husband or by the wife, before marriage, shall not be borne by the partnership.
Neither shall it bear the payment of fines or of pecuniary condemnations which may be imposed on either of them.
However, the payment of debts contracted by the husband or by the wife, prior to the marriage, and that of fines and condemnations imposed on either of them, may be claimed against the partnership property, after covering the expenses, mentioned in § 3661 of this title, if the debtor spouse should have no private capital, or were it insufficient; but at the time of the liquidation of the partnership the payments, made for the specified causes, shall be charged to said spouse.
