Explanation

Right of retention in lieu of unpaid dower is an exclusive right of a widow and this right is available to her only because her dower remains unpaid, i.e. the right to retain the property is her personal right as it is given to her because of her special personality that she is the widow of a deceased husband who could not pay her dower during his life.
