The money is owned by the family corporately like all it's assets, and distributed according to the directives of the head or council or however the articles say is appropriate.
If for instance the Montagues and the Capulets agree to a marriage some time in the future part of the treaty will be for each party to contribute escrow for the fertility of said marriage. As a corralary each will insure the heir pledged in the future marriage for payment of said escrow if complications arise.
Other ideas can be thought of. If the original party dies or becomes ill or injured and the replacement is not considered as genetically sound or does not carry as dignified of a title the other family is entitled to compensation. If one of the individiduals pledged balks at the last minute and runs off and marries a country singer that is also definitely cause for compensation. So on.
