 To the daughter of a taeog are paid three steers of the same age as those. If a man takes a wife with consent of kindred, and if he leave her before the end of seven years, let him pay her three pounds in her agweddi if she be the daughter of a breyr; and in her cowyll a pound and a half, and in her gobr six score pence. If she be the daughter of a taeog, a pound and a half in her agweddi, and six score pence in her cowyll, and twenty-four pence in her gobr. If he leaves her after the seven years, there will be an equal sharing between them, unless status gives more to the husband. Two-thirds of the children go to the husband, namely the eldest and the youngest; and the third to the mother. If death separates them, there will be an equal sharing between them of everything. Sarhad of a married woman is paid according to the status of her husband. When a married man is killed, his sarhad is paid first and afterwards his galanas. A third of her husband's sarhad, the wife receives. The wife of a free man can give her shirt and her mantle and her headcloth and her shoes and meal and her cheese and her butter and her milk without consent of her husband ; and can lend all the furniture of the house.
