slava [35]3 years ago
3 0

The money and goods involved in a marriage are called <u>dowry</u>. The basic purpose of a dowry has been to bring some protection for the wife against violence and abuse by her husband and his family. Also, the dowry may serve to help the new couple to establish a home. This was more common in societies where the marriage of very young people has been arranged. Also, a dowry provides the wife with the resources in case of her man's death.

In the Middle Ages, the dowry had the function to enhance the value of a woman for marriage and increase power and wealth of great families. Dowries virtually disappeared in Europe in the XIX and XX century.

The EU is a partnership consisting of over 37 republican countries in Europe.
just olya [345]

This statement is FALSE.

The European Union is constituted by 28 member states, and not all of them are republics. For example, Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands are constitutional monarchies.

It is not a partnership but a form of supranational integration. The level of integration is not as deep as the one that can be found in a federal country like the US. Its member states have established a common market, free movement of people and goods, a common currency, common foreign policy and even certain levels of political integration. Many other aspects such as the fiscal policy, are decided at the state level and the EU has no authority over them.
