I can only help = Grace with what I saw - and I could so easily be wrong - I saw Giftist as reflexive in that she gave her self in marriage off her own bat - instead of getting someone to speak for her - like nice modest ladies were supposed (?)
With til handa I thought it referred to the Man's hand - into which the lady's hand would be placed in marriage
Did he marry her or was it just betrothed personally I think it was marriage - but the reason it was related as - well - seeming unusual was the fact that - the man stayed with Daddy after his marriage
