Desdemona: "With that recognizance and pledge of love / Which I first gave her. I saw it in his hand; / It was a handkerchief, an antique token / My father gave my mother."

But in my opinion the author wanted to stress on that fact that in the story they pretend to have equal court system, but it’s not equal.
