A quick definition of maritagium:

Maritagium: A long time ago, when people lived in castles and had lords, sometimes the lord would have the power to choose who a young girl would marry. This was called maritagium. The lord could also make money by charging people who wanted to get married. Sometimes, the girl's family would give her a special gift when she got married, which was also called maritagium.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Maritagium (mar-uh-tay-jee-uhm) is a legal term used in history. It refers to a lord's right to arrange a marriage for his infant ward. This means that a feudal lord had the power to give his infant ward or a vassal's heiress, minor heir, or widow in marriage, or to extract a fine from a vassal upon the vassal's marriage. It also refers to the income derived from fines paid by vassals for the lord's permission to marry. In some cases, it can also mean a marriage gift or dowry.

Examples:

  • A lord has an infant ward who is a minor. The lord has the right to arrange a marriage for the ward and can even extract a fine from the ward's future spouse for permission to marry.
  • A vassal's heiress is a minor and the lord has the power to give her in marriage to someone of his choosing.
  • A vassal wants to get married and needs the lord's permission. The lord can extract a fine from the vassal for granting permission.
  • A bride's parents give a gift to the couple upon their marriage. This gift is called maritagium or marriage-gift.

These examples illustrate how maritagium was used in history. It shows how feudal lords had control over the marriages of their subjects and could even profit from it. It also shows how a marriage gift or dowry was sometimes referred to as maritagium.

I have this professor for a legal analysis and writing for clients class that said you will need a JD and legal experience to get an A. He also grades ridiculously hard but leaves no comments on why you got that grade or what you did wrong. Dude is pissing me off with the whole you are wrong figure it out approach.
