Morning gift

The morning gift origins from a statutory right for the bride and was not a present from the bridegroom. The morning gift was given to the bride the morning after the wedding night. The husband gave his wife a gift, which was an insurance or pension if he should die before her. The morning gift belonged to the husband until his death. It could only be released if the wife was a widow. Today, the morning gift has only a romantic importance.
