valor maritagii (val-[schwa]r mar-[schwa]-tay-jee-I). [Latin] Hist. The value of a marriage. • Under ancient tenures, this was the amount that a female ward forfeited to a guardian when the guardian had offered her a marriage without disparagement (inequality), and she refused. In feudal law, the guardian in chivalry had the right of tendering to a minor ward a suitable match. If the ward refused the match she had to compensate the guardian for the value of the marriage (valor maritagii).
— Also termed (in the accusative) valorem maritagii; (Scots law) avail of marriage.
“If an infant ward of a guardian in chivalry refused a match tendered by the guardian, he or she forfeited the value of the marriage (valorem maritagii) to the guardian; that is, so much as a jury would assess, or any one would bona fide give to the guardian for such an alliance.” 2 Alexander M. Burrill, A Law Dictionary and Glossary 572–73 (2d ed. 1867).
