Q. The ketubah of a widow contained the following clause: "you shall collect whatever you have brought in, as your dowry, over and above the amount you are entitled to as your ketubah" without description of what the dowry consisted. The widow seized some articles stating that her late husband had given them to her as a present. Are we to believe her statement (in accordance with the rule of Miggo), since if she had wanted to lie she might have claimed that said articles were part of her dowry? A. A mere claim to the effect that the articles had formed part of her ketubah would have been insufficient. Since her ketubah did not enumerate the articles and valuables that made up her dowry, she would have to prove what the dowry consisted of before she would be entitled to collect any part thereof. Therefore, we do not have to believe her statement. SOURCES: L. 243.
