Youre fulla shit dear.
Females always retained title to their dowries just as they always had title to 1/3rd of their husbands estate. Both were to protect her from bastardy, illicit heirs produced by the husband. Dowries were an insurance policy to protect the husband from her bastards.
Patently false as historical records prove over and over again, women's dowries and property became their husband's property once married. The literal only thing that was truly a woman's was her jewelry, clothes, bed linens and dishes. That's not what I'd call "property rights" and "1/3rd of their husbands' estates", "dear".
There is a mountain of evidence to prove my words and you're a known troll with a penchant for sexist bullshit so I'm just going to disregard you as socially irrelevant as 99% of the rest of Lit does.
