i understand that statue of frauds states that certain documents need to be in writing but i have a question about the exceptions. does a condition promise to adopt the child of a future spouse need to be in writing under the statute of fraud?
would a fathers dowry to the groom need to be in writing under statute of fraud?
thanks

As I am understanding this, promising to adopt a child and failing to do so would, at best, be a breach of promise, not fraud. If the promise was made orally, I dont even see it as that, but I have no further information to judge by.
A father’s dowry to the groom, if made orally, would not stand up in a court of law. If in writing, it might bear weight. That would be up to the lawyers to fight over.
Hope this helps and you can find it useful
