Law A widow is entitled to a life interest in a third of her husband's landed property. If a man betrothes a young woman and her parents later refuse, they are liable to return four-fold the bride-price. But if she refuses of her own accord, or if the wedding is not celebrated within two years, she could be re-engaged without penalty. If the man break off the engagement, he get no refund. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grimhild https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nibelung https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gudrun https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widsith https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prose_Edda https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gu%C3%B0r%C3%BAnarkvi%C3%B0a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagen_(legend) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlakvi%C3%B0a |
