You keep refering to dowery, which is the bride price. I think you are talking about a womens estate rights which would be Dower and Curtsey, the right of the spouse to a share of the estate whether willed or not.
I remember it from real estate sales courses a millenium (sp?) ago.

Thank you. Dower rights are still in force in this millenium in my state.
