Solidary: When two or more people owe the same thing to the same person, and each person can be made to pay the whole amount, it is called a solidary obligation. This means that if one person pays the debt, both are considered to have paid it. It's like sharing a pizza, but each person is responsible for paying for the whole pizza if needed.
Solidary means that a liability or obligation is joint and several. This means that each person involved is responsible for the entire debt or obligation, not just a portion of it. Once the debt is paid by one person, all parties are released from the obligation.
These examples illustrate how solidary obligations work. Each person involved is responsible for the entire debt or obligation, not just a portion of it. This can be risky, as one person's inability to pay can leave the others with the full burden of the debt.
