Wreath money
Wreath money is not a legal term, but the literal translation of German "Kranzgeld". Kranzgeld is money a man had to pay as compensation to a woman of "immaculate reputation" he was engaged to when he had sexual intercourse with her and then broke off the engagement (or caused it to be broken off e.g. through unfaithfulness). Immaculate reputation in this context meant mainly virginity, but could also be lost though other factors such as being convicted of a crime.
