Abstract
: Giving a dowry to girls when they got married was in the medieval period one of the major worries of parents, regardless of the social class that they belonged to. Often the source of misunderstandings and family disputes, the dowry was inherited by successive generations and reflected a world where the West met with the East; the dowry could affect the way a marriage would begin and even defined the identity of the girl. Beginning in the 17th century in Moldova, two types of dowry documents are known. The simplest form is the “zapis”, which acts like a contract between the newly wedded youth and the girl’s father. The second dowry document is the “dowry paper”, which was a list of items, both objects and real estate that the girl’s father gave to the newly wedded. The official owner became the wife, while the husband was only allowed to use the items, he did not own them. The items that could be included in a dowry were very diverse and included among others: entire villages, agricultural land, vineyards, orchards, cattle, clothes, jewelry, pots and pans, plates and table covers.
