Term: DE LUCRANDA DOTE

Definition: De lucranda dote is a Latin term that means "of being enriched by the dowry." In history, it was a spousal agreement that allowed a husband to keep his wife's dowry after her death.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: De lucranda dote (dee loo-kran-də doh-tee) is a Latin term that refers to a spousal agreement that allows a husband to keep his wife's dowry after her death.

Example: In ancient Rome, it was common for wealthy families to arrange marriages for their children. As part of the marriage contract, the bride's family would provide a dowry, which could include money, property, or other valuable assets. The de lucranda dote clause was often included in these contracts, giving the husband the right to keep the dowry if his wife died before him.

Explanation: The de lucranda dote clause was designed to ensure that the husband would be financially secure even if his wife passed away. By retaining her dowry, he would have access to additional resources that could help him support himself and any children they had together. This clause was particularly important in a society where women had limited legal rights and were often dependent on their husbands for financial support.
