Though Kā. thinks that this gift is given by the in-laws and elders in the family, ManvaMu. states that this type of gift is given by the husband. BālamBha. points out that Priti datta stridhana is of two types - when elders see the daughter-in-law for the first time and later, on account of her seva, they give her gifts out of affection.

'What is given to a woman by the father, the mother, the son or the brother or received by her at the nuptial fire, as also that which was presented to her on her husband's marriage to another woman and any other is denominated as a woman's property. That which has been given to her by her kinsmen as well as her fees or gratuity or anything bestowed after marriage.'

'That is declared to be sulka which is obtained as a price of household utensils, of beasts of burden, of milch cattle, ornament and slaves.

Speaking of the rules of succession to Stridhana, Manusmrti says that the wealth obtained from the husband's family during marriage and that given by the husband himself as a token of love belongs to her progeny incase the woman dies while her husband is still alive. And if there is no offspring, the wealth belongs either to her husband or father. However, it emphasizes that any wealth given to a woman by her father shall belong to her daughter or the child of her daughter.<ref name=":6" /><ref name=":4" /><blockquote>अन्वाधेयं च यद्दत्तं पत्या प्रीतेन चैव यत् । पत्यौ जीवति वृत्तायाः प्रजायास्तद्धनं भवेत् । । ९.१९५ । ।
