valor maritagii

valor maritagii
/vselar maerateyjiyay/
Value of the marriage.
The amount forfeited under the ancient tenures by a ward to a guardian who had offered her a marriage without disparagement, which she refused. In feudal law, the guardian in chivalry had the right of tendering to his infant ward a suitable match, without "disparagement" (inequality), which, if the infants refused, they forfeited the value of the marriage (valor maritagii) to their guardian; that is, so much as a jury would assess, or any one would bona fide give, to the guardian for such an alliance. 2 Bl.Comm. 70. A writ which lay against the ward, on coming of full age, for that he was not married, by his guardian, for the value of the marriage, and this though no convenient marriage had been offered
