"From the translation it is established that in case the wife repudiated the husband' she allowed him to take back half his dower." This is the reverse of modern customs; especially in European countries, where the wila is expect ́ed to contribute the dot or dower." -The Egyp

tian husband not only received nothing. from the bride, but had to put up a bonus to make | himself a matrimonial possibility. The docu

ment shows that in case of a separation he wan allowed by the wife to take but one-third of the moany they should bave acquired together during the time they were married."
