@sapphael: Replying to @last_arms_fan_2001 I kind of am enjoying giving basic answers to foundational questions! Obviously this answer is limited in scope, and the dowry system caused a lot of problems at times. European cultures which had a dowry system in the middle ages tended to see a bigger age difference between the men and women (or girls) getting married, compared to the places where there was more of an egalitarian inheritence system. This is just a very basic explanation of that system. #medieval #History #marriage #economics #learnontiktokcontest
My family still does hope chests, a chest full of practical items like blankets and kitchen supplies to set up a household. But I got mine when I moved out on my own, it was actually really helpful- I remember some older relatives being huffy about it because it wasn’t saved until I got married 😅 but by the time I was married I’d already lived on my own for seven years and had all that stuff!

Didn’t the women’s husband pretty much take over the money and it was in his control? So usually she doesn’t get it ?
