Nam quodcumque aliud in dotem acceperis, potes, cum libuit, ne sis beneficio obstrictus, omne ut acceperas retribuere: pecuniam renumerare, mancipia restituere, domo demigrare, praediis cedere; sola virginitas cum semel accepta est, reddi nequitur, sola apud maritum ex rebus dotalibus remanet.
For with anything else you receive as dowry, if you do not wish to be bound by an act of generosity, you can return it entire in the condition you received it'repay the cash, return the servants, move out of the house, give up the estates. Virginity is the one thing that cannot be returned once it has been received; of all the dowry goods, it alone remains with the husband.
