I offer here some cultural background on the wedding customs of the nineteenth century in Yemen. The bridal dowry of that time was supposed to include as much silver as possible, because the dowry served the purpose that a nice large cash gift would serve in modern times. It was given partly as the bride price that the husband had paid and partly as a gift from the bride's family. The dowry was the woman's own household bank account and her insurance policy in case her husband was disabled or died before she did.
