- Foutaka or joutaka signifies property received at marriage: the word yuta or juta, derived from the verb' Fu' or ‘Ju' to mix, imports “mingling;” and mingling is the union of man and woman as one person; and that is accomplished by marriage. For a passage of scripture expresses: “Her bones become identified with his bones, flesh with flesh, skin with skin.” Therefore what has been received at the time v narriage, is denominated Youtaka orjoutaka.
