On this point, the court declined to admit the evidence and further held that: «[i] t would be inconsistent with the purpose
of the Statute
of Frauds and with the
valid public policy need for
certainty in real property transactions to imply a term or condition into the Deed
of Gift based on a general cultural norm or tradition and the mere reference to the property in question under the heading «dowry» in the marriage
contract.»
