 After the engaged couple has married, the engagement gift becomes subject to the rights of the woman.

Bride price is the property given on the part of the man to the part of the woman’s father, mother, or guardian in return for the woman agreeing to marry. If the marriage failed to take place, the man may claim its return.

for compensating the expenses incurred in good faith by the engaged person or his or her father, mother, or guardian in preparation for the marriage;
