Marriage and Inheritance in between men and women?
First, land descended to the eldest son to the exclusion of his siblings. But if there was no son, land went to the daughter. If there were more than one daughter then they were all equal heiresses. Common law gave a limited preference to males, as it gave daughters preference over collateral males, such as the nephew, or uncle, or male cousin. Over time the widow's third became a well protected right that extended over any land her husband had ever held during their marriage. If a husband wished to alienate land he had to get his wife's consent. http://www.britannica.com/eb/article?eu=117520&tocid=24063&query=1600%20venice http://web.uvic.ca/shakespeare/Annex/DraftTxt/MV/

This promise was known as the "verbum." If made in the present tense (e.g., "I marry you"), it was unquestionably binding; if made in the future tense ("I will marry you"), it would constitute a betrothal. But if the couple proceeded to have sexual relations, the union was a marriage. http://www.drizzle.com/~celyn/mrwp/mrwp.html
