| According to the Venetian Statutes, the father’s inheritance was divided between sons, who received immovable goods, and daughters, who received movable goods. Most of the time, the dowry that was bestowed upon daughters at the time of their marriage was the only portion of their father’s inheritance that they received. Sumptuary legislation tried to limit the dowries, especially between patrician families, but was much less strict when the marriage was between a “populares” bride and a patrician groom. In fact, we can consider that the aim of the legislation concerning dowries was to maintain a balance between the patrician families that governed the Republic of Venice, and that it played an important role in protecting the stability of the State. During the marriage, the dowry was still the property of the bride, but the husband had total control over it. However, he had to guarantee its restitution to his widow or to her family, with his immovable goods as a security. The laws protected, in theory and in practice, the right of the widows, of all social groups, to reclaim their dowry. | |
