EX DELECTU FAMILIAE

Ex delectu familiae is a Latin legal term that means "from choice of a certain family." This phrase was used historically to refer to the right of a sovereign to bestow honors on individuals from a specific family.

An example of ex delectu familiae would be a king granting a title of nobility to a member of a particular family, regardless of their individual merits or accomplishments. Another example would be a government official appointing a family member to a high-ranking position, even if there were more qualified candidates available.

The examples illustrate the concept of ex delectu familiae by showing how individuals from a certain family could receive special treatment or privileges based solely on their family connections, rather than their own abilities or qualifications. This practice was common in many historical societies, where family ties and social status were highly valued.
