Merchet : ウィキペディア英語版
Merchet

A merchet was a fine paid on a marriage during the Middle Ages in England. The word derives from the plural form of daughter, ''merched'', in old Welsh. A peasant would pay a merchet to his lord upon the marriage of a woman. The justification for this was that when a woman married, her lord was losing a worker. Usually the bride's father would pay, as buying the right to give his daughter away.
There is an unsubstantiated theory that relates this fine to droit du seigneur 〔(Gage, Matilda Joslyn (1893) "Marquette" Chapter IV of ''Woman, Church and State'' p.171 )〕
