If, for the duration of the dian, the property dianed is wholly or partially destroyed by force majeure, the dian-holder may reconstruct or repair the property dianed within the value which the part destroyed had at the time of such destruction, unless otherwise agreed by the dian-maker. Original dian is deemed continually existing on the reconstruction.
中文原文 民法第921條
典權存續中,典物因不可抗力致全部或一部滅失者,除經出典人同意外,典權人僅得於滅失時滅失部分之價值限度內為重建或修繕。
原典權對於重建之物,視為繼續存在。
