Witness testimonies may be admissible in cases in which written proof is required, in the following cases: 1. If commencement of proof by writing exists. 2. If written evidence cannot be obtained due to material or moral reasons. Material reasons include the absence of a person who can assume the task of writing and cases where the person requesting proof is a third person who is not a party to the contract. Moral reasons include, among others, relationships between spouses, in-laws, and kinships up to the fourth Law of Evidence degree. 3. If it is established that the claimant has lost the written evidence for reasons beyond his control.
