A number of payments are connected with marriage. "Amobr", or commutation-fee, was a fee payable to the woman's lord on the loss of her virginity, whether on marriage or otherwise. "Cowyll", or maiden-fee, was a payment due to the woman from her husband on the morning after the marriage, marking her transition from virgin to married woman. Dowry ("agweddi") was the amount of the common pool of property owned by the couple which was due to the woman if the couple separated before the end of seven years. The total of the agweddi depended on the woman's status by birth, regardless of the actual size of the common pool of property. If the marriage broke up after the end of 7 years, the woman was entitled to half the common pool. The portion that was immediately accessible during the marriage, consisting usually of linens, dishes, and other domestic items, was known as "argyvrau".
