And if any baron or other subject of mine shall wish to give his daughter, his sister, his niece, or other female relative, in marriage, let him ask my permission on the matter; but I will not take any of his property for granting my permission, nor will 1 forbid his giving her in marriage except he wishes to give her to an enemy of mine; and if on the death of a baron or other subject of mine, the daughter is left heiress, I, by the advice of my bannis, will give her in marriage together with her land ; and if on the death of a husband the wife is surviving and is childless, she shall have her dowry for a marriage portion, and I will not give lier away fo another husband unless with her consent; but if a wife survives, having children, she shall have her dowry as a marriage portion, as long as she shall keep herself according to law, and 1 will not give her to a husband unless with her consent; and the guardian of the children's land shall be either the wife, or some other nearer relation, wdio ought more rightly to be so ; and I enjoin on my barons to act in the same way towards the sons and daughters and wives of their dependants.
