In Medieval times yes, the man who wanted to marry a father's daughter had to ask for her hand in marriage and if the father rejected the young man then his daughter was not able to see him any longer.

In non -community property states how is property transferred after a marriage ends in divorce?
This will depend on the laws in the jurisdiction in which the divorce is taking place. However, in many jurisdictions such as in New Jersey, property is divided according to a concept called "equitable distribution". This means that in the divorce action the court will look at the marital property and the history of the marriage and divide the property so that it is equitable to both parties. The major factor is the roles each spouse played in the marriage in acquiring the marital property. A woman who was the housewife of the husband who brought in all the money will still be entitled equitable distribution since her contributions to the marriage as a housewife were just as important as his as the main earner.

In Texas if you do not use this money and it is kept in separate accounts and you do not use this money to gain a better standard of living or any standard to benefit both of your lives then their is no claim to the money. The problem begins when you acquire property after marriage. Then the lines of tracebility and other factors affect your sole claim to the property. My advice is to keep it secret, keep it separate and file separate taxes.
