ARRAS, Span. law. The property contributed by the husband, ad sustinenda
onera matrimonii, is called arras. The husband is under no obligation to
give arras, but it is a donation purely voluntary. He is not permitted to
give in arras more than a tenth of his property. The arras is the exclusive
property of the wife, subject to the husband's usufruct during his life.
Burge on the Confl. of Laws, 417.
